Documentation
=============
Below is a brief blurb about each of the functions in the php_imlib
extension. For examples of how these are used, see the examples page.
There are also some PHP classes included with php_imlib (Which also
have examples posted on the examples page). These classfiles have been
documented using the PHPDoc documentation system. That documentation
can be found here.
