# Graph::Easy::Edge::Cell(3pm)

A cell in an edge in Graph::Easy

## NAME

Graph::Easy::Edge::Cell - A cell in an edge in Graph::Easy

## SYNOPSIS

```
        use Graph::Easy;
        my $ssl = Graph::Easy::Edge->new(
                label => 'encrypted connection',
                style => 'solid',
                color => 'red',
        );
        my $src = Graph::Easy::Node->new( 'source' );
        my $dst = Graph::Easy::Node->new( 'destination' );
        $graph = Graph::Easy->new();
        $graph->add_edge($src, $dst, $ssl);
        print $graph->as_ascii();
```

## DESCRIPTION

A `"Graph::Easy::Edge::Cell"` represents an edge between two (or more) nodes in a simple graph.

Each edge has a direction (from source to destination, or back and forth), plus a style (line width and style), colors etc. It can also have a name, e.g. a text label associated with it.

There should be no need to use this package directly.

## METHODS

### error()

```
        $last_error = $edge->error();
        $cvt->error($error);                    # set new messages
        $cvt->error('');                        # clear error
```

Returns the last error message, or '' for no error.

### as\_ascii()

```
        my $ascii = $path->as_ascii();
```

Returns the path-cell as a little ascii representation.

### as\_html()

```
        my $html = $path->as_html($tag,$id);
```

eturns the path-cell as HTML code.

### label()

```
        my $label = $path->label();
```

Returns the name (also known as 'label') of the path-cell.

### style()

```
        my $style = $edge->style();
```

Returns the style of the edge.
