If you need the constructor, it's below the object methods. Normally you would get an object via
CSS::DOM::Style's "getPropertyCSSValue" method.
CSSValueInterface
cssText
Returns a string representation of the attribute. Pass an argument to set it.
cssValueType
Returns "CSS::DOM::Value::CSS_PRIMITIVE_VALUE".
CSSPrimitiveValueInterface
primitiveType
Returns one of the "CONSTANTS" listed below.
getFloatValue
Returns a number if the value is numeric.
The rest have still to be implemented.
RectInterface
The four methods "top", "right", "bottom" and "left" each return another value object representing the
individual value.
RGBColorInterface
The four methods "red", "green", "blue" and "alpha" each return another value object representing the
individual value.
Constructor
You probably don't need to call this, but here it is anyway:
$val = new CSS::DOM::Value::Primitive:: %args;
The hash-style arguments are as follows. Only "type" and "value" are required.
type
One of the constants listed below under "CONSTANTS"
value
The data stored inside the value object. The format expected depends on the type. See below.
css CSS code used for serialisation. This will make reading "cssText" faster at least until the value is
modified.
owner
The style object that owns this value; if this is omitted, then the value is read-only. The value
object holds a weak reference to the owner.
property
The name of the CSS property to which this value belongs. "cssText" uses this to determine how to
parse text passed to it. This does not apply to the sub-values of colours, counters and rects, but it
does apply to individual elements of a list value.
index
The index of this value within a list value (only applies to elements of a list, of course).
format
This is used by sub-values of colours and rects. It determines how assignment to "cssText" is
handled. This uses the same syntax as the formats in CSS::DOM::PropertyParser.
Here are the formats for the "value" argument, which depend on the type:
CSS_UNKNOWN
A string of CSS code.
CSS_NUMBER, CSS_PERCENTAGE
A simple scalar containing a number.
Standard Dimensions
Also a simple scalar containing a number.
This applies to "CSS_EMS", "CSS_EXS", "CSS_PX", "CSS_CM", "CSS_MM", "CSS_IN", "CSS_PT", "CSS_PC",
"CSS_DEG", "CSS_RAD", "CSS_GRAD", "CSS_MS", "CSS_S", "CSS_HZ" and "CSS_KHZ".
CSS_DIMENSION
An array ref: "[$number, $unit_text]"
CSS_STRING
A simple scalar containing a string (not a CSS string literal; i.e., no quotes or escapes).
CSS_URI
The URL (not a CSS literal)
CSS_IDENT
A string (no escapes)
CSS_ATTR
A string containing the name of the attribute.
CSS_COUNTER
An array ref: "[$name, $separator, $style]"
$separator and $style may each be "undef". If $separator is "undef", the object represents a
"counter(...)". Otherwise it represents "counters(...)".
CSS_RECT
An array ref: "[$top, $right, $bottom, $left]"
The four elements are either CSSValue objects or array refs of arguments to be passed to the
constructor. E.g.:
[
[type => CSS_PX, value => 20],
[type => CSS_PERCENTAGE, value => 50],
[type => CSS_PERCENTAGE, value => 50],
[type => CSS_PX, value => 50],
]
When these array refs are converted to objects, the "format" argument is supplied automatically, so
you do not need to include it here.
CSS_RGBCOLOR
A string beginning with '#', with no escapes (such as '#fff' or '#c0ffee'), a colour name (like red)
or an array ref with three to four elements:
[$r, $g, $b]
[$r, $g, $b, $alpha]
The elements are either CSSValue objects or array refs of argument lists, as with "CSS_RECT".
