=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 Basic Overview

An Image object is created with C<$img = Imager-E<gt>new()>.
Examples:

  $img=Imager->new();                         # create empty image
  $img->open(file=>'lena.png',type=>'png') or # read image from file
     die $img->errstr();                      # give an explanation
                                              # if something failed

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.

When an operation fails which can be directly associated with an image
the error message is stored can be retrieved with
C<$img-E<gt>errstr()>.

In cases where no image object is associated with an operation
C<$Imager::ERRSTR> is used to report errors not directly associated
with an image object.
