=head1 NAME
Imager::Font::Wrap - simple wrapped text output
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Imager::Font::Wrap;
my $img = Imager->new(xsize=>$xsize, ysize=>$ysize);
my $font = Imager::Font->new(file=>$fontfile);
my $string = "..."; # text with or without newlines
Imager::Font::Wrap->wrap_text( image => $img,
font => $font,
string => $string,
x => $left,
y => $top,
width => $width,
.... );
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This is a simple text wrapper with options to control the layout of
text within the line.
You can control the position, width and height of the text with the
C<image>, C<x>, C<y>, C<width> and C<height> options.
You can simply calculate space usage by setting C<image> to C<undef>,
or set C<savepos> to see how much text can fit within the given
C<height>.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over
=item x
=item y
The top-left corner of the rectangle the text is formatted into.
Defaults to (0, 0).
=item width
The width of the formatted text in pixels. Defaults to the horizontal
gap between the top-left corner and the right edge of the image. If
no image is supplied then this is required.
=item height
The maximum height of the formated text in pixels. Not required.
=item savepos
The amount of text consumed (as a count of characters) will be stored
into the scalar this refers to.
my $pagenum = 1;
my $string = "...";
my $font = ...;
my $savepos;
while (length $string) {
my $img = Imager->new(xsize=>$xsize, ysize=>$ysize);
Imager::Font::Wrap->wrap_text(string=>$string, font=>$font,
image=>$img, savepos => \$savepos)
or die $img->errstr;
$savepos > 0
or die "Could not fit any text on page\n";
$string = substr($string, $savepos);
$img->write(file=>"page$pagenum.ppm");
}
=item image
The image to render the text to. Can be supplied as C<undef> to
simply calculate the bounding box.
=item font
The font used to render the text. Required.
=item size
The size to render the font in. Defaults to the size stored in the
font object. Required if it isn't stored in the font object.
=item string
The text to render. This can contain non-whitespace, blanks (ASCII
0x20), and newlines.
Newlines must match /(?:\x0A\x0D?|\x0D\x0A?)/. Whitespace other than
blanks and newlines are completely ignored.
=item justify
The way text is formatted within each line. Possible values include:
=over
=item left
Left aligned against the left edge of the text box.
=item right
Right aligned against the right edge of the text box.
=item center
Centered horizontally in the text box.
=item fill
All but the final line of the paragraph has spaces expanded so that
the line fills from the left to the right edge of the text box.
=back
=item linegap
Gap between lines of text in pixels. This is in addition to the size
from $font->font_height. Can be positive or negative. Default 0.
=back
Any other parameters are passed onto Imager::Font->draw().
=head1 RETURNS
Returns a list:
($left, $top, $right, $bottom)
which are the bounds of the space used to layout the text.
If C<height> is set then this is the space used within that height.
You can use this to calculate the space required to format the text
before doing it:
my ($left, $top, $right, $bottom) =
Imager::Font::Wrap->wrap_text(string => $string,
font => $font,
width => $xsize);
my $img = Imager->new(xsize=>$xsize, ysize=>$bottom);
Imager::Font::Wrap->wrap_text(string => $string,
font => $font,
width => $xsize,
image => $image);
=head1 BUGS
Imager::Font can handle UTF8 encoded text itself, but this module
doesn't support that (and probably won't). This could probably be
done with regex magic.
Currently ignores the C<sizew> parameter, if you supply one it will be
supplied to the draw() function and the text will be too short or too
long for the C<width>.
Uses a simplistic text model, which is why there's no hyphenation, and
no tabs.
