| | PHP Working With Images - Introducing GD for Image Manipulation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) |
 | | One of the most powerful tools at the PHP programmer's disposal is the ability to issue instructions to the gd graphics library and as a result create, copy, and edit images "on-the-fly". |
 | | This is particularly useful when dealing with and displaying statistical data stored in a database as the gd image functions built into PHP can be utilised to draw bar-charts, line graphs and even pie charts (if your maths is good enough). |
 | | This tutorial is not the place to start telling you how to configure gd on your server, I have made the assumption that it is already working and is gd 2.0.1 or higher as lesser versions to not handle Truecolor images correctly. |
