Re: Point plotting -- GD and Prima

[Discipulus]

Hello BernieC,

I'm absolutely not an expert, but I recently used GD and it offers $image->setPixel($x,$y,$color) that seems what you are looking for.

I had not good experience in the past with Image::Magick because was nearly impossible to install correctly under windows, so I cant say anything about it.

Being a GUI programmer (not a professional, only sometimes) I have always the temptetion to use Prima: it ships with Prima::Drawable which has the pixel method. See a huge, recent guide by the author at prima.eu.org. This project wa connected (same author, same site) with the IPA - Image Processing Algorithms you can find interesting.

I will be glad to see your progresses so, if you have the time, please share them :)

I noticed that GD has "setpixel". When I was SVG hacking I just made a big-enough "canvas" and it all worked fine, I was thinking I could do that same with GD: give it, say, a 1000x1000 canvas and then use setPixel to do the "drawing" Thanks!
