Summary
  • "From access counters and log-report graphs to scientific plots and on-the-fly animated GIFs, graphics scripting is within the grasp of most web scripters. It is a little-documented field, however, and many programmers are unaware of the many valuable free libraries and tools available on the Internet Programming Web Graphics with Perl & GNU Software is aimed at intermediate and advanced web programmers who want to use CGI scripts to generate dynamic graphic content."--BOOK JACKET.
  • "Programming Web Graphics with Perl & GNU Software takes a practical, resource-like approach. It documents and uses several powerful Perl modules for generating graphics (GD, ImageMagick, PerlMagick, and GIFgraph). In addition, it provides detailed documentation for scripting the Gimp, both in Script-Fu and via a Perl interface."--BOOK JACKET.
