NAME

   Imager::DTP - draw text with DTP app-like custom options

DESCRIPTION.

   Imager::DTP is a text drawing add-on for Imager, with ability to draw
   text horizontally or vertically (from top to bottom), letter-based (not
   word-based) text wrapping for multi-byte characters, line alignment, and
   adjustment of distance between letters and lines. Vertical drawing and
   letter-based text wrapping are for multi-byte character languages, such
   as Japanese and Chinese.

 MORE THAN WORDS

   I've made an interactive sample viewer page, for quick and essential
   understanding of what the output will look like, by using Imager::DTP.
   You can make the output more complexing and fancy by making full use of
   the module, but save that for later, and just take a glance at all the
   basics.
