The GD.Text plugin provides an interface to the GD::Text module.
It allows attributes of strings such as width and height in pixels
to be computed.

See L<GD::Text> for more details. See
L<Template::Plugin::GD::Text::Align> and
L<Template::Plugin::GD::Text::Wrap> for plugins that
allow you to render aligned or wrapped text in GD images.
