|
|
gd is a graphics library. It allows your code to quickly draw images
|
|
complete with lines, arcs, text, multiple colors, cut and paste from
|
|
other images, and flood fills, and write out the result as a .PNG file.
|
|
This is particularly useful in World Wide Web applications, where .PNG
|
|
is the format used for inline images.
|
|
|
|
gd is not a paint program. [...]
|
|
|
|
gd does not provide for every possible desirable graphics operation. It
|
|
is not necessary or desirable for gd to become a kitchen-sink graphics
|
|
package, but version 1.3 incorporates most of the commonly requested
|
|
features for an 8-bit 2D package. Support for scalable fonts, and
|
|
truecolor images, JPEG and PNG is planned for version 2.0.
|
|
[...]
|
|
gd was written by Thomas Boutell and is currently distributed by
