image generation

Post by alforddm »

In what ways is it possible to generate images on a website? I'm wondering about images like on this website http://www.hajinc.com/index.php I'm know they can be done using GD and layers but are there other better ways?

Thanks,

Daylene

You could generate then spit out SVG which would give nice smooth images, though there is an issue with IE there.

Depending on what exactly you plan to do you might also use Flash and feed the Flash object with name/value pairs to create the appropriate image (if the scenario is as per your link and you want to change the colour of a horse, or something like that?).

Yes, I have a foal coat color calculator that I've set up to generate images of the results using layers (there are oodles of possibilities). I was just wondering if there was a better way to do it.

Here's the calculator if anyone wants to take a look.
