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 one of the formats accepted for inline images by most
|
|
browsers.

|
gd is not a paint program. If you are looking for a paint program, you
|
|
are looking in the wrong place. If you are not a programmer, you are
|
|
looking in the wrong place.
|
|
|
|
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 incorporates most of the commonly requested
|
|
features for an 8-bit 2D package.
