DESCRIPTION

       The GD.Text.Align plugin provides an interface to the GD::Text::Align module. It allows
       text to be drawn in GD images with various alignments and orientations.

       See GD::Text::Align for more details. See Template::Plugin::GD::Text::Wrap for a plugin
       that allow you to render wrapped text in GD images.
