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 can read and write many different image formats. GD is commonly

used to generate charts, graphics, thumbnails, and most anything else, on the

fly.

The most common applications of GD involve website development, although it

can be used with any standalone application!

The library was originally developed by Thomas Boutell and is now maintained

by many contributors (see the [CONTRIBUTORS](CONTRIBUTORS) file) under the

umbrella of PHP.net.
