Imager::DTP::Textbox is a multi-byte text handling module with text wrapping and line alignment, for use with Imager.SYNOPSIS use Imager::DTP::Textbox::Horizontal; # or Vertical # first, define font & text string my $font = Imager::Font->new(file=>'path/to/foo.ttf',type=>'ft2', size=>14,color=>'#000000',aa=>1); my $text = 'The Greater Of Two Evils'; # create instance my $tb = Imager::DTP::Textbox::Horizontal->new( text=>$text,font=>$font); # draw the text string on target image my $target = Imager->new(xsize=>250,ysize=>250); $target->box(filled=>1,color=>'#FFFFFF'); # with white background $tb->draw(target=>$target,x=>10,y=>10); # and write out image to file $target->write(file=>'result.jpg',type=>'jpeg');Imager::DTP::Textbox is a module intended for handling sentences and paragraphs consisted with multi-byte characters, such as Japanese and Chinese. It supports text wrapping and line alignment, and is able to draw text string vertically from top to bottom as well.

It's like WWW Browser's textarea input, or Adobe Illustrator's textbox tool. # creating instance - basic way my $tb = Imager::DTP::Textbox::Horizontal->new(); $tb->setText(text=>$text,font=>$font); # set text with font $tb->setWspace(pixel=>5); # set space between letters $tb->setLeading(percent=>180); # set space between lines $tb->setAlign(halign=>'left',valign=>'top'); # set text alignment $tb->setWrap(width=>200,height=>150); # set text wrapping $tb->setLetterScale(x=>1.2,y=>0.5); # set letter transform scale # creating instance - or the shorcut way my $tb = Imager::DTP::Textbox::Horizontal->new( text=>$text, # set text font=>$font, # set font wspace=>5, # set word distance (pixels) leading=>150, # set line distance (percent) halign=>'left', # set horizontal alignment valign=>'top', # set vertical alignment wrapWidth=>200, # set text wrap width wrapHeight=>180, # set text wrap height xscale=>1.5, # set letter transformation x scale yscale=>0.5, # set letter transformation y scale ); Requirements: · Perl
