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 functions. 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 simply dropped.

       Lehmann <pcg@goof.com>
