Subject: doc clarification: colorsTotal and truecolor images
I was looking through gdlib documentation related to the colorsTotal call and it says: "For truecolor images, the result of this call is undefined and should not be used." (http://www.boutell.com/gd/manual2.0.22.html#gdImageColorsTotal) I think this clarification is new as of gdlib 2.0. Lines 422-425 of the GD perldocs say: Show quoted text
> $colorsTotal = $image->colorsTotal object method > This returns the total number of colors allocated in the object. > > $maxColors = $myImage->colorsTotal;
This probably should be appended with "For truecolor images, the result is always -1" since you cannot retrieve the total number of colors in a truecolor image.
