| 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. |
