DESCRIPTION

       The GD.Constants plugin provides access to the various GD module's constants (such as
       gdBrushed, gdSmallFont, gdTransparent, GD_CMP_IMAGE etc).  When GD.pm is used in perl it
       exports various contstants into the caller's namespace.  This plugin makes those exported
       constants available as template variables.

       See Template::Plugin::GD::Image and GD for further examples and details.
