gd is a library for creating and reading PNG, JPEG, GIF, WBMP, and XPM images. It has many features and can be used in scripts (e.g. PHP, Perl, Ruby, Lua, and Python) 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.
