=head1 NAME

PDF::API2::Simple - Simplistic wrapper for the excellent PDF::API2 modules

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use PDF::API2::Simple;

    my $pdf = PDF::API2::Simple->new( 
                                     file => 'output.pdf'
                                    );

    $pdf->add_font('VerdanaBold');
    $pdf->add_font('Verdana');
    $pdf->add_page();

    $pdf->link( 'http://search.cpan.org', 'A Hyperlink',
                x => 350,
                y => $pdf->height - 150 );

    for (my $i = 0; $i < 250; $i++) {
         my $text = "$i - All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy";

         $pdf->text($text, autoflow => 'on');
    }

    $pdf->save();

Take note that PDF coordinates are not quite what you're used to. The coordinate, (0, 0) for instance is at
the lower-left hand corner. Thus, x still grows to the right, but y grows towards the top.

=item * width - The width of the PDF file. Defaults to 612, the 8 1/2 x 11 US Letter width

=item * height - The height of the PDF file. Defaults to 792, the 8 1/2 x 11 US Letter height

=item * line_height - The standard height you want to define for lines. The default is 10

# public methods - space management
# ================================================

=head2 Space Management

The following methods help you to manage the space on each page of your PDF.

=head3 next_line_would_extend_page

Returns a true value if the current C<y> minus C<line_height> would write past the bottom margin.

=cut

sub next_line_would_extend_page {
  my $self = shift;

  return $self->would_extend_page( $self->y - $self->line_height );
}

=head3 would_extend_page C<theoretical_y>

Returns a true value if the C<theoretical_y> would write past the bottom margin.

=cut

sub would_extend_page {
  my ($self, $theoretical_y) = @_;

  return ($theoretical_y < $self->margin_bottom);
}

=head3 next_line

Reduces the current C<y> by C<line_height>.

=cut

sub next_line {
  my $self = shift;

  $self->{'_y'} -= $self->line_height;
}

=head3 add_page

Closes the current page, resets the C<x> and C<y> values to thier default coordinates, and calls the header callback, if specified. This method may be called for in, such as if your autoflow text wraps over a page.

=cut

sub add_page {
  my $self = shift;
  
  if ($self->current_page) {
    $self->end_page();
  }    

  $self->current_page( $self->pdf->page() );
  $self->_reset_x_and_y();

  if ($self->header) {
    $self->header->( $self );
  }
}

=head3 end_page

Closes the current page, and calls the footer callback, if specified. This method is usually called for you.

=cut

sub end_page {
  my $self = shift;

  if ($self->footer) {
    $self->footer->( $self );
  }
}

# public methods - general mangement
# ================================================

=head2 General Management

These methods help you manage the PDF itself

=head3 add_font C<font_name>

This method will add a font to be used throughout the PDF. You C<MUST> call this at least once before laying out your PDF. C<font_name> is a font name, such as 'Arial', or 'Verdana'. Appending 'Bold' seems to make the text bold, as in 'VerdanaBold'. Refer to L<PDF::API2> for more details.

You can optionally pass a font object and font size if you have loaded an
external font.

  my $font_obj = $pdf->pdf->ttfont('new_font.ttf');
  $pdf->add_font('NewFont', $font_obj, '12');

Refer to L<PDF::API2> for the various font methods, like C<ttfont>, available.

=cut

sub add_font {
  my ($self, $font_name, $font_obj, $font_size) = @_;

  if ( $font_obj ) {
    $self->current_page->text->font($font_obj, $font_size);
    $self->fonts->{$font_name} = $font_obj;
  }

  if ( ! exists $self->fonts->{$font_name} ) {
    $self->fonts->{$font_name} = $self->pdf->corefont($font_name);
  }

  $self->current_font( $self->fonts->{$font_name} );
}

=head3 set_font C<font_name>[, C<pt>]

Set the current font by name, and optionally a font size.

=cut

sub set_font {
  my ($self, $font_name, $pt) = @_;

  $self->current_font( $self->fonts->{$font_name} );

  if ($pt && ($pt > 0)) {
    $self->current_font_size( $pt );
  }
}

=head3 as_string

An alias for the stringify method

=cut

sub as_string { stringify( @_ ); }

=head3 stringify

Ends the current page, and returns the pdf as a string

=cut

sub stringify {
  my $self = shift;

  $self->end_page();
  $self->{'_pdf'}->stringify;
}

sub save_as { save( @_ ); }
sub saveas { save( @_ ); }

=head3 save [C<file>]

End the current page, and save the document to the file argument, or the file specified when instaniating the object. If not suitable file can be found to save in, a C<Carp::croak> is emitted. Aliases for this method are C<saveas> and C<save_as>.

=cut

sub save {
  my ($self, $file) = @_;

  $self->file( $file ) if ($file);

  if ( ! $self->file ) {
    Carp::croak( "No file specified" );
  }

  $self->end_page();
  $self->{'_pdf'}->saveas( $self->file );
}

# public methods - layout
# ================================================

=head2 Layout

These methods modify the actual layout of the PDF. Note that most of these methods set some internal state. Most often, the last C<x> and C<y> are set after the rendered object.

Most times, underscores may be stripped and the arguments will still work, such as is the difference between C<fill_color>, and C<fillcolor>.

=head3 popup C<text>[, C<%opts>]

Creates a 25x25 box at C<opts{x}> (or the current C<x>), C<opts{y}> (or the current C<y>) to represent an annotation at that point. The user may then click that icon for a full annotation.

=cut

sub popup {
  my ($self, $text, %opts) = @_;
  my $x = exists $opts{'x'} ? $opts{'x'} : $self->x;
  my $y = exists $opts{'y'} ? $opts{'y'} : $self->y;
  my $annotation = $self->current_page->annotation;
  
  $annotation->rect( $x, $y, $x + 25, $y + 25 );
  $annotation->text( $text );
}

=head3 url

This is an alias for the C<link> method.

=cut

sub url {
  my $self = shift;

  return $self->link( @_ );
}

=head3 link C<url>, C<text>[, C<%opts>]

Specifies a link to C<url>, having C<text>. C<%opts> may contain:

=over

=item * C<x> - The x position of the link. Defaults to C<x>.

=item * C<y> - The y position of the link. Defaults to C<y>.

=item * C<limit> - The amount to "limit" the text. This will add an ellipis (...) a few characters from the end if the text length is greater than this numerical value. Defaults to 0, which is to mean "do not limit".

=item * C<align> - Which alignment you want for your text. The choices are 'left', 'center', and 'right'. Defaults to 'left'.

=item * C<font> - Specifies via font name, the font to use. This sets the current font.

=item * C<font_size> - Specifies the font size. This sets the current font size.

=item * C<fill_color> - Specifies the fill color. This sets the current fill color.

=item * C<stroke_color> - Specifies the stroke color. This sets the current stroke color.

=back

This method returns the width of the text.

=cut

sub link {
  my ($self, $url, $text, %opts) = @_;
  my $x = exists $opts{'x'} ? $opts{'x'} : $self->x;

  $annotation = $self->current_page->annotation;

  $annotation->rect( @rect );
  $annotation->url( $url );

  # return text width
  return ($rect[2] - $rect[0]);
}

=head3 text C<text>[, C<%opts>]

Renders text onto the PDF.

=over

=item * C<x> - The x position of the link. Defaults to C<x>.

=item * C<y> - The y position of the link. Defaults to C<y>.

=item * C<limit> - The amount to "limit" the text. This will add an ellipis (...) a few characters from the end if the text length is greater than this numerical value. Defaults to 0, which is to mean "do not limit".

=item * C<align> - Which alignment you want for your text. The choices are 'left', 'center', and 'right'. Defaults to 'left'.

=item * C<autoflow> - Any value but 'off' will notify this method to use "autoflowing" heuristics to gracefully wrap your text over lines and pages. Useful for variable length text. Note that due to laziness, this option is mutually exclusive with C<limit>.

=item * C<font> - Specifies via font name, the font to use. This sets the current font.

=item * C<font_size> - Specifies the font size. This sets the current font size.

=item * C<fill_color> - Specifies the fill color. This sets the current fill color.

=item * C<stroke_color> - Specifies the stroke color. This sets the current stroke color.

=back

If C<autoflow> was B<not> specified, this method returns the width of the text in scalar context, the bounding box of the text in list context. In autoflow mode, this method returns nothing.
