     1.4 +GD is an open source code library for the dynamic creation of images
     1.5 +by programmers.
     1.6 +GD is written in C, and "wrappers" are available for Perl, PHP, ruby
     1.7 +and many other bindings.
     1.8 +

    1.29 +development, embemdedded, or any other usages you may need.
    1.30 +
    1.31 +It supports transparency, blending, images transformations and various
    1.32 +filters. Its design allows the additions of custom features in a very
    1.33 +friendly manner.
