Help with GD ?

[bluegroper]

Hi team
GD newbie here, pls be gentle.

I have the following code snippet.

$xpos = 5;
$ypos = ($height - $f->height)/2;
$gd->fill(0,0,$bgcolor);
$gd->rectangle(0,0,$w-1,$h-1,$black);
$gd->string($f,$xpos,$ypos,$mesg,$black);
my $image = $gd->png();

Is there an easy way to CENTER the $msg within the graphic image .png file ?
At the mo $msg is left aligned.
The GD manual is quite confusing.
TIA's

Got it thanks.

$xpos=((15-length($mesg))*($f->width)/2);
