NAME

       Imager::Inline - using Imager with Inline::C.

SYNOPSIS

         use Inline with => 'Imager';
         use Inline C => <<'EOS';
         Imager some_func(Imager::Color c, Imager::Fill f) {
           Imager img = i_img_8_new(200, 200, 3);
           /* fill with color */
           i_box_filled(img, 0, 0, 199, 199, c);
           /* inner area with fill */
           i_box_cfill(img, 50, 50, 149, 149, f);

           return img;
         }
         EOS

DESCRIPTION

       Imager hooks into Inline's "with" syntax to make it easier to write Inline::C code that
       works with Imager, you can call Imager functions without having to include headers or
       perform initialization.

       Imager's Inline "with" support does the following:

       •   add the installed Imager include directory to INC

       •   add the Imager typemap to TYPEMAPS

       •   include the headers needed by Imager C extension modules.

       •   declare and initialize the Imager API function table pointer

       •   filter the supplied code to replace Imager's class names with those that Inline::C can
           handle.

LIMITATIONS

       The filtering mechanism is global, it will replace the class names even inside string
       constants.  If you need a string matching the name of one of Imager's classes, like
       "Imager::Color" you will need to split it into 2 to use C's string pasting mechanism, for
       example: "Imager:" ":Color".
