The \s-1GD\s0.Text plugin provides an interface to the GD::Text module. It allows attributes of strings such as width and height in pixels to be computed.
See GD::Text for more details. See Template::Plugin::GD::Text::Align and Template::Plugin::GD::Text::Wrap for plugins that allow you to render aligned or wrapped text in \s-1GD\s0 images.
Thomas Boutell wrote the \s-1GD\s0 graphics library.
Lincoln D. Stein wrote the Perl \s-1GD\s0 modules that interface to it and Martien Verbruggen wrote the GD::Text module.
Craig Barratt <[email protected]> wrote the original \s-1GD\s0 plugins for the Template Toolkit (2001).
Andy Wardley <[email protected]> extracted them from the \s-1TT\s0 core into a separate distribution for \s-1TT\s0 version 2.15.
