Imager::Search::Match - Object describing a successful Imager::Search match

Imager::Search::Match is a convenience class that represents the complete geometry of a successful Imager::Search match.

It is returned by the various search methods in Imager::Search.

Imager::Search::Match objects are self-contained and anonymous, they do not retain a connection to the original search context.

If the Imager::Search::Pattern that was used to generate the match object had a name, then the match will inherit that name as well.

Returns the pattern name as a string, or undef if the pattern was anonymous.

The top accessor returns the integer value of the inclusive vertical top of the search match.

The bottom accessor returns the integer value of the inclusive vertical bottom of the search match.

The left accessor returns the integer value of the inclusive horizontal left of the search match.

The right accessor returns the integer value of the inclusive horizontal right of the search match.

The height accessor returns the integer value of the vertical height of the matched area.

The width accessor returns the integer value of the horizontal width of the matched area.

The center_x accessor returns the integer value of the horizontal centre pixel of the matched image. If the matched image has an even number of horizonal pixels, the value will be rounded to the left.

The center_y accessor returns the integer value of the vertical centre pixel of the matched image. If the matched image has an even number of vertical pixels, the value will be rounded to the top.
