Templat...D::Text(3)

💅 Template::Plugin::GD::Text(3) — bestie edition ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

Template::Plugin::GD::Text — Text utilities for use with GD. That's the whole name section, and yes, it ate. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Use it in your template like this, periodt:

           [% USE gd_text = GD.Text %]

🌸 EXAMPLES 🌸

Okay so these examples are literally the vibe. First one, no cap:

           [%
               USE gd_c = GD.Constants;
               USE t = GD.Text;
               x = t.set_text('Some text');
               r = t.get('width', 'height', 'char_up', 'char_down');
               r.join(":"); "\n";     # returns 54:13:13:0.
           -%]

And the second one:

           [%
               USE gd_c = GD.Constants;
               USE t = GD.Text(text => 'FooBar Banana', font => gd_c.gdGiantFont);
               t.get('width'); "\n";  # returns 117.
           -%]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The GD.Text plugin provides an interface to the GD::Text module — no cap. It lets you compute attributes of strings, like width and height in pixels. 💅

For more details, see GD::Text. Also see Template::Plugin::GD::Text::Align and Template::Plugin::GD::Text::Wrap for plugins that allow you to render aligned or wrapped text in GD images. Those are the ones you want when your text needs main character energy. 🎀
