gd Library tutorial?

Post by JasonTC »

Does anybody know of one? It's proven mind-blowingly difficult for me to hunt one down. And please don't point me to the four-page phpfreaks.com tutorial.

Thanks,
Jason

Everything I ever needed to do was covered pretty well in the PHP documentation, aside from some transparency issues. Is there a specific thing you are looking to learn about? I'd recommend reading through the functions list overview and just getting a feel for what functions are avaialable, then take a step back and figure out which functions you'll be using.

I just want to get a little taste of everything. My boss is being really slow about giving me work to do, so I'm going to do the most fun thing that is still kind of work. So I'm open to ideas about stuff that falls under this category.

Umm.. cheers Burrito.. 8)

For the time being the best I can offer is my "Starting out with GD" article .. http://www.ooer.com/index.php?section=php&id=9 .. Hopefully in the next week or two http://www.phpgd.com/ will gather momentum and get some content. To start with it'll just be updated ooer.com stuff, but I've a few new things in the works too. There's a bunch of code snippets in the Graphics and the Code Snippets folders here too.
