This are Text utilities for use with the GD drawing package. This package provides three modules: GD::Text: Provides information about a font, irrespective of whether the font is a TTF or builtin font. GD::Text::Align Align a string around a coordinate, left, right, center, top, bottom or center. GD::Text::Wrap Wrap a long string between a right and left margin, starting at a certain y coordinate. Layout the text flush left, flush right, center, or justified. Requirements: perl 5.005_03 or higher, preferably 5.6. It may work on older versions, but it has not been tested, and I won't spend a lot of time trying to support it. GD 1.20 or up, built for TTF (freetype) support. Installation: perl Makefile.PL make make test make demo make install Demo(s) can be found in the demo directory. Todo: - Make the interface more flexible - Alignment for the wrap boxes as a whole - More demo code COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 1999 Martien Verbruggen mgjv@comdyn.com.au This package is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
