Image::Base::Prima::Drawable -- draw into Prima window, image, etc

 use Image::Base::Prima::Drawable;
 my $image = Image::Base::Prima::Drawable->new
               (-drawable => $d);
 $image->line (0,0, 99,99, '#FF00FF');
 $image->rectangle (10,10, 20,15, 'white');

Image::Base::Prima::Drawable is a subclass of Image::Base,

    Image::Base
      Image::Base::Prima::Drawable

Image::Base::Prima::Drawable extends Image::Base to draw into a Prima::Drawable drawable, meaning a widget window, off-screen image, printer, etc.

The native Prima drawing has many more features, but this module can point some Image::Base style code at a Prima image etc.

Colour names for drawing are "Blue" etc of the Prima colour constants like cl::Blue (see Color space in Prima::Drawable), plus 2-digit #RRGGBB or 4-digit #RRRRGGGGBBBB hex. Internally Prima works in 8-bit RGB components so 4-digit values are reduced. Drawables with less than 24-bits per pixel reduce further.

X,Y coordinates are the usual Image::Base style 0,0 at the top-left corner. Prima works from 0,0 as the bottom-left but Image::Base::Prima::Drawable converts. There's no support for the Prima "translate" origin shift.

None of the drawing functions here do a $drawable->begin_paint. That's left to the application, and of course happens automatically in an onPaint handler call. The symptom of forgetting is that lines, rectangles and ellipses don't draw anything. In the current code xy might come out because it uses $drawable->pixel, but don't rely on that.

$image = Image::Base::Prima::Drawable->new (key=>value,...)

Create and return a new image object. A Prima::Drawable object must be given.

    $image = Image::Base::Prima::Drawable->new
               (-drawable => $d);

$colour = $image->xy ($x, $y)

$image->xy ($x, $y, $colour)

Get or set the pixel at $x,$y.

Currently colours returned by a get are always 2-digit hex #RRGGBB. Would names "Blue" for cl::Blue etc be better for those particular colours?

-drawable (Prima::Drawable object)

The target drawable.

-width (integer)

-height (integer)

The width and height of the underlying drawable. Setting these resizes the drawable (as per $drawable->size, see Other properties in Prima::Drawable).
