Manipulating graphics with Perl from PNG, JPEG, GIF, SWF, SVG

Description:

Graphics programmers aren't the only ones who need to be proficient with graphics. Web and applications programmers know that a dull web page can be quickly transformed into one that's interesting and lively with the use of well-planned graphics. And fortunately, you don't need the skills of a fulltime graphics programmer to use graphics effectively. 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 programmers. Using open source software, like Perl, you have the power to dynamically generate graphics based on user input and activity, easily manipulate graphics content, and optimize graphics for compression and quality. With this book you'll learn to: Generate dynamic web graphics with charts, tables, and buttons; Automate graphics tasks (thumbnails and borders); Create dynamics web documents (PDF, Postscript).
