Imager::Inline - using Imager with Inline::C.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Inline with => 'Imager';
  use Inline C => <<'EOS';
  Imager some_func(Imager::Color c, Imager::Fill f) {
    Imager img = i_img_8_new(200, 200, 3);
    /* fill with color */
    i_box_filled(img, 0, 0, 199, 199, c);
    /* inner area with fill */
    i_box_cfill(img, 50, 50, 149, 149, f);

    return img;
  }
  EOS

=head1 DESCRIPTION

=for stopwords inline Inline Inline's

Imager hooks into Inline's C<with> syntax to make it easier to write
Inline::C code that works with Imager, you can call Imager functions
without having to include headers or perform initialization.

Imager's Inline C<with> support does the following:

=over

=item *

add the installed Imager include directory to INC

=item *

add the Imager typemap to TYPEMAPS

=item *

include the headers needed by Imager C extension modules.

=item *

declare and initialize the Imager API function table pointer

=item *

filter the supplied code to replace Imager's class names with those
that Inline::C can handle.

=back

=head1 LIMITATIONS

The filtering mechanism is global, it will replace the class names
even inside string constants.  If you need a string matching the name
of one of Imager's classes, like C<"Imager::Color"> you will need to
split it into 2 to use C's string pasting mechanism, for example:
C<"Imager:" ":Color">.
