Programming Web Graphics with Perl

Visit Programming Web Graphics with Perl

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 authors. However, it is a poorly documented field. Programming Web Graphics with Perl & GNU Software shows intermediate and advanced Web designers how to use CGI scripts to generate dynamic graphic content and demystifies the manipulation of graphics formats for newcomers to the Web. Programming Web Graphics with Perl & GNU Software covers a narrow but powerful niche of Web development: on-the-fly graphics generation. It also focuses on the Perl language and its associated free code modules, making the techniques you learn in this book immediately available for free. Among the tools discussed in this book is the GD Perl module for working with GIF files, the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP), GIFScript, and ImageMagick. Looks at the popular image formats on the Web: GIF, PNG, and JPEG.
