Arc version 0.01

This package contains GD::Text::Arc, which is a module to provide a way to draw TrueType text along a curve (such as around the bottom or top of a circle). It is to be used with GD::Text (version > 1.20) and GD graphics objects.

Sample usage could be:

use GD::Text::Arc;

my $image = GD::Image->new(600,500);

my $gray = $image->colorAllocate(75,75,75); my $boldfont = "Adventure.ttf";
my $text = "here's a line.";

my $ta = GD::Text::Arc->new($image,

                              colour => $gray,
                              ptsize => $size,
                              font => $boldfont,
                              radius => $radius,
                              center_x => $centerX,
                              center_y => $centerY,
                              text => $text, 
                              side => 'inside'
                              orientation => 'clockwise'
                              );

$ta->draw;

$ta->set('color', $red);
$ta->set('ptsize', $huge);
$ta->set('orientation', 'counterclockwise');

$ta->draw;
