The \s-1GD\s0.Text.Align plugin provides an interface to the GD::Text::Align module. It allows text to be drawn in \s-1GD\s0 images with various alignments and orientations.
See GD::Text::Align for more details. See Template::Plugin::GD::Text::Wrap for a plugin that allow you to render 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.
These modules are looking for a new maintainer. Please contact Andy Wardley if you are willing to help out.
