DESCRIPTION

       The GD.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 GD images.
