Greetings surfmonkey,

Recently I used GD and GD::Graph to do some graphing for a Web application. It originally ran under Windows and ActivePerl, then later on FreeBSD. Make sure you install all the required libraries both up and down the "chain" of modules. However, it appears to work just fine for me. Of course, with the new version of GD, you can only output PNG graphics (maybe JPG too) -- no GIFs. Too bad, I say. However, PNG seems to be supported on NS4+|6+ & IE5+, so it's not that bad of an option.

Follow-up question: Anyone know an easy Perl way to convert PNG graphics to GIF? Or even better, a way to output GIF graphics with the new version of GD? Just curious.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


good chemistry is complicated, and a little bit messy -LW
