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 .GIF file. - This is particularly useful in World Wide Web applications, where .GIF - is the format used for inline images. - - gd is not a paint program. If you are looking for a paint program, try - xpaint by David Koblas, available by anonymous FTP from ftp.netcom.com - in pub/ko/koblas. (That package is for the X Window System; for the Mac - and the PC, paint programs are considerably easier to find.) - - 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. Version 1.3 - was released to correct longstanding bugs and provide an LZW-free GIF - compression routine. - -AUTHOR - gd 1.2 was written by Thomas Boutell and is currently distributed by - boutell.com, Inc. - -WWW: http://www.boutell.com/gd/ |
