GD Graphics Library

The web site programmer's dynamic graphics generation tool

Logo by David Ross Design

What is the GD library? GD is an open source code library for the dynamic creation of images by programmers. GD is written in C, and "wrappers" are available for Perl, PHP and other languages. GD creates PNG, JPEG and GIF images, among other formats. GD is commonly used to generate charts, graphics, thumbnails, and most anything else, on the fly. While not restricted to use on the web, the most common applications of GD involve web site development.

GD has moved!

The GD library has moved to libgd.org, thanks to the hard work of Pierre Joye of the PHP project. The project is now headed by Pierre Joye, a well-known PHP developer. Pierre welcomes the contributions of distribution maintainers and other developers.

Yes, gd will continue to support other languages as well as PHP. After all, the larger the community fixing bugs, the better gd is for everyone.

Version 2.0.34 has been released by Pierre, incorporating many important fixes. Major feature changes will appear in a forthcoming gd 2.1.x series.

The latest bleeding-edge GD code can be obtained via CVS - and you're welcome to join the team!

Visit www.libgd.org for more information.
