-DESCRIPTION
-
- 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 .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.
