NAME
        Gimp::Compat - compatibility functions for older versions of Gimp.


SYNOPSIS
        <loaded automatically on demand>


DESCRIPTION
       Older versions of Gimp (version 1.0 at the time of this
       writing) lack some very important or useful functions.

       This module is providing the most needed replacement func-
       tions. If you happen to miss a function then please create
       a replacement function and send it to me ;)

       These functions are handled in exactly the same way as
       PDB-Functions, i.e. the (hypothetical) function
       "gimp_image_xyzzy" can be called as $image->xyzzy, if the
       module is available.

FUNCTIONS
       gimp_text_fontname, gimp_get_extents_fontname
           These are emulated in 1.0.

       gimp_paintbrush
           The last two arguments only available in 1.1 are sim-
           ply dropped.

       new functions) is Marc Lehmann <pcg@goof.com>
