=head1 DESCRIPTION

Imager is a module for creating and altering images.  It can read and
write various image formats, draw primitive shapes like lines,and
polygons, blend multiple images together in various ways, scale, crop,
render text and more.

=head2 Overview of documentation

=over

=item Imager

This document - Synopsis Example, Table of Contents and Overview.

=item Imager::ImageTypes

Direct type/virtual images, RGB(A)/paletted images, 8/16/double
bits/channel, color maps, channel masks, image tags, color
quantization.

=item Imager::Files

IO interaction, reading/writing images, format specific tags.

=item Imager::Draw

Drawing Primitives, lines, boxes, circles, arcs, flood fill.

=item Imager::Color

Color specification.

=item Imager::Fill

Fill pattern specification.

=item Imager::Font

General font rendering, bounding boxes and font metrics.

=item Imager::Transformations

Copying, scaling, cropping, flipping, blending, pasting, convert and
map.

=item Imager::Engines

Programmable transformations through C<transform()>, C<transform2()>
and C<matrix_transform()>.

=item Imager::Filters

Filters, sharpen, blur, noise, convolve etc. and filter plugins.

=item Imager::Expr

Expressions for evaluation engine used by transform2().

=item Imager::Matrix2d

Helper class for affine transformations.

=item Imager::Fountain

Helper for making gradient profiles.

=back


=head2 Basic Overview

An Image object is created with C<$img = Imager-E<gt>new()> Should
this fail for some reason an explanation can be found in
C<$Imager::ERRSTR> usually error messages are stored in
C<$img-E<gt>{ERRSTR}>, but since no object is created this is the only
way to give back errors.  C<$Imager::ERRSTR> is also used to report
all errors not directly associated with an image object. Examples:

  $img=Imager->new(); # This is an empty image (size is 0 by 0)
  $img->open(file=>'lena.png',type=>'png'); # initializes from file

or if you want to create an empty image:

  $img=Imager->new(xsize=>400,ysize=>300,channels=>4);

This example creates a completely black image of width 400 and height
300 and 4 channels.
