GD originally stood for "GIF Draw". However, since the revoking of the Unisys license, it has informally stood for "Graphics Draw". GD can create images composed of lines, arcs, text (using program-selected fonts), other images, and multiple colors. Version 2.0 adds support for Truecolor images, Alpha Channel s, Resampling (for smooth resizing of truecolor images), and many other features. GD supports numerous programming languages including C , PHP , Perl , O'Caml , Tcl , Lua , Pascal , GNU Octave and REXX . There is also a tool called fly which allows access to GD from any language through a command-line program. GD is extensively used with PHP, where a modified version supporting additional features is included by default as of PHP 4.3 and was an option before that. Change in development On January 4, 2007, the project was handed over to and is now headed by Pierre Joye, a well-known PHP developer. After many months of a stagnant project, the new developer is expected to be releasing a new version soon, which incorporates many new fixes. {Link without Title} SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
