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 or JPEG file. This is particularly
|
||
|
|
useful in World Wide Web applications, where PNG and JPEG are two 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, unless you are installing a required library in order to run an
|
||
|
|
application.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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 2.0 does include most frequently requested features, including both
|
||
|
|
truecolor and palette images, resampling (smooth resizing of truecolor images)
|
||
|
|
and so forth.
