EXAMPLES

    [% FILTER null;
        USE im   = GD.Image(100,100);
        USE c    = GD.Constants;
        # allocate some colors

        black = im.colorAllocate(0,  0,  0);
        red   = im.colorAllocate(255,0,  0);
        blue  = im.colorAllocate(0,  0,255);
        green = im.colorAllocate(0,  255,0);

DESCRIPTION

The GD.Polygon plugin provides an interface to GD.pm's GD::Polygon class.

See GD for a complete description of the GD library and all the methods that can be called via the GD.Polygon plugin. See Template::Plugin::GD::Image for the main interface to the GD functions. See Template::Plugin::GD::Constants for a plugin that allows you access to GD.pm's constants.
