.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Font::TTF data structures are trees created from hashes and arrays. When trying to figure
out how the structures work, sometimes it is helpful to use Data::Dumper on them. However,
many of the object structures have ' \s-1PARENT\s0' links that refer back to the object's parent,
which means that Data::Dumper ends up dumping the whole font no matter what.
.PP
The main purpose of this module is to invoke Data::Dumper with a
filter that skips over the ' \s-1PARENT\s0' element of any hash.
.PP
To reduce output further, this module also skips over ' \s-1CACHE\s0' elements and any 
hash element whose value is a Font::TTF::Glyph or Font::TTF::Font object. 
(Really should make this configurable.)
.PP
If \f(CW$opts\fR{'d'}, then set Deepcopy mode to minimize use of crossreferencing.
