I've just tried and found GD installed on my Win2k-Box/ActivePerl 631. I executed the first code from perldoc GD, and it seems to work fine...

H:\>perl
 use GD;

 # create a new image
 $im = new GD::Image(100,100);

 # allocate some colors
 $white = $im->colorAllocate(255,255,255);
 $black = $im->colorAllocate(0,0,0);
 $red = $im->colorAllocate(255,0,0);
 $blue = $im->colorAllocate(0,0,255);

 # make the background transparent and interlaced
 $im->transparent($white);
 $im->interlaced('true');

 # Put a black frame around the picture
 $im->rectangle(0,0,99,99,$black);

 # Draw a blue oval
 $im->arc(50,50,95,75,0,360,$blue);

 # And fill it with red
 $im->fill(50,50,$red);

 # make sure we are writing to a binary stream
 binmode STDOUT;

 # Convert the image to PNG and print it on standard output
 print $im->png;
^Z
ëPNG ..... and so on

But somehow, I've never worked with graphical graphs yet.

Best regards,
perl -le "s==*F=e=>y~\*martinF~stronat~=>s~[^\w]~~g=>chop,print"

• 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).
