A simple Erlang interface to GD, developed and tested on FreeBSD.
This is a preliminary release, pending a general cleanup. However, you can already generate graphics on Erlang using the full power of GD.
A few helper functions were added to deal with...
-
Actual text metrics;
-
Some obscure requirements related to ETSI 300 743 that you probably are not interested in.
If you like Operas, maybe you had a chance to see this library in action on the big screen :)
If you note any missing GD function please add it and contribute, as I haven't been following changes in GD for a while.
-
Move time consuming code outside the output function (from erlang-questions)
-
Use NIFs (back then we didn't have NIFs, only 0s and 1s).
-
Add some much needed documentation.
-
Check Linux compatibility (mostly build paths).
