PHP Image library

My PHP image library is a simple graphics library which contains a small number of operations that complement the standard gd functionality. The project was abandoned when SVG renderers and tools started to catch up with its capabilities (and I gradually abandoned PHP in favour of Java), but it may still be very useful as (good) SVG renderers aren't always available and the interface of this library is far simpler and more intuitive.

Operations

• text functions
• create gradient
• create shadow
• create bordered rectangle
• create line
• image gaussian blur
• image merge
• image add
• image substract
• image negative
• color add
• color substract
• color negative
• color from rgb/hex

Remarks

• The library is not optimized for performance. It is recommended you cache the output rather than displaying it directly. Especially when using CPU intensive operations such as Gaussian blur (shadow).
• The library is distributed under the LGPL.
• The code is no longer being maintained. Feel free to pick it up.

Examples (not very representative)

• button.php - Source
• shadow.php - Source
• special.php - Source
• text.php - Source
