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. |
