GD::Text 0.86

GD::Text is a Perl module with text utilities for use with GD.

SYNOPSIS

use GD;
use GD::Text;

my $gd_text = GD::Text->new() or die GD::Text::error();
$gd_text->set_font(funny.ttf, 12) or die $gd_text->error;
$gd_text->set_font(gdTinyFont);
$gd_text->set_font(GD::Font::Tiny);
...
$gd_text->set_text($string);
my ($w, $h) = $gd_text->get(width, height);

if ($gd_text->is_ttf)
{
...
}
Or alternatively
my $gd_text = GD::Text->new(
text => Some text,
font => funny.ttf,
ptsize => 14,
);

This module provides a font-independent way of dealing with text in GD, for use with the GD::Text::* modules and GD::Graph.
