Creating GIFs, JPEGs, and PNGs on the Fly.
Intermediate - Advanced Level Users.
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. This book 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. The book focuses on scripting programs that manipulate graphics files to be published on the Web and includes a tour through the most popular Web graphics file formats and features examples that use Perl as a scripting language.
