Games::Bingo::Print(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Games::Bingo::Print(3)

Games::Bingo::Print - a PDF Generation Class for Games::Bingo

        use Games::Bingo::Print;

        my $bp = Games::Bingo::Print-E<gt>new();

        $bp-E<gt>print_pages(2);

        my $bp = Games::Bingo::Print->new(
                heading  => 'Jimmys bingohalle',
                text     => 'its all in the game!'
                filename => 'jimmys.pdf
        );

This documentation describes version 0.03 of Games::Bingo::Print

This is that actual printing class. It generates a PDF file with pages containing bingo cards.

The page contains space for 3 bingo cards, each consisting of 3 rows and 10 columns like this:

So a filled out example card could look like this:

The constructor

The constructor can take several options, all these are optional.

  • heading

    The heading on the generated bingo card PDF.

  • text

    The smaller text on the generated bingo card PDF, the default is the authors name (SEE AUTHOR section below).

  • filename

    The name of the file containing the generated bingo card PDF, the default is 'bingo.pdf'

If it is not possible to create an object the constructor dies with the diagnostic 'Unable to construct object' and some additional diagnostic depending on the problem, which might relate to third party components used. See DEPENDENCIES.

The print_pages is the main method it takes two arguments, the number of pages you want to print and optionally the number of cards you want to print on a page.

The default is 3 cards on a page which also is the maximum.

The print_pages method returns 1 on success and 0 on failure, failure issues a warning.

print_pages calls _print_card.

This is the method used to print the actual card, it calls _print_row 3 times.
