The GD.Text.Wrap plugin provides an interface to the GD::Text::Wrap module. It allows multiples line of text to be drawn in GD images with various wrapping and alignment.

See GD::Text::Wrap for more details. See Template::Plugin::GD::Text::Align for a plugin that allow you to draw text with various alignment and orientation.

Thomas Boutell wrote the GD graphics library.

Lincoln D. Stein wrote the Perl GD modules that interface to it and Martien Verbruggen wrote the GD::Text module.

Craig Barratt <craig@arraycomm.com> wrote the original GD plugins for the Template Toolkit (2001).

Andy Wardley <abw@cpan.org> extracted them from the TT core into a separate distribution for TT version 2.15.

These modules are looking for a new maintainer. Please contact Andy Wardley if you are willing to help out.
