About gd:
gd is a library used to create PNG, JPEG, or WBMP images.

NOTE: You must unzip gd-beos-2.0.21.zip to /boot. It installs files in ~/config/bin, ~/config/lib, ~/config/include.

gd is a library used to create PNG, JPEG, or WBMP images. It has many nice features and can be used in scripts (e.g. PHP) for dynamic image generation. PHP users should note that PHP 4.3.x includes its own distribution of gd which is currently the best choice for PHP applications.
Latest Version
   
Details about this version:
Version 2.0.21 adds a gdImageCreateFrom*Ptr family of functions which make it convenient to load an image in any GD-supported format directly from memory.

The new gdNewDynamicCtxEx function was added to support the easy implementation of the above functions and to correct a design problem which made life unpleasant for those passing in memory not originally allocated by gd to the gdNewDynamicCtx function by provoding a way to specify that gd should never free or reallocate a particular block of memory. The gdNewDynamicCtx function and its relatives, although still exported for ABI compatibility, are now deprecated except for internal use, in favor of gdImageCreateFromPngPtr and its relatives.

Version 2.0.21 includes a new patch from Ethan A. Merritt to correct a bug in the conditional compilation of support for symbol fonts in gdft.c. Symbol fonts should now work correctly. Thanks to Mr. Merritt.
Version 2.0.21 restores the gdFreeFontCache function, an undocumented function added in an earlier release which now simply calls gdFontCacheShutdown for backwards compatibility. This repairs build problems when compiling PHP against the latest gd.

Documentation improvements.
