NAME

Imager::Handy - simple access to common functions

SYNOPSIS

use Imager ':handy';
my $color = NC(255, 0, 0);
my $font = NF(1.0, 0, 0);

DESCRIPTION

If you use Imager with the :handy import tag, it will export a number of functions that can shorter your code.

NC()

newcolor()

newcolour()

Create a new Imager::Color object, supplying any parameters to the new() method.

my $color = NC('red');

NF()

newfont()

Create a new Imager::Font object, supplying any parameters to the new() method.

my $font = NF(file => 'foo.ttf');

NCF()

Create a new Imager::Color::Float object, supplying any parameters to the new() method.

my $colorf = NCF(1.0, 0, 0);

BUGS

NC() can be mostly replaced by supplying the color name or other description directly to the drawing method.
