Re: gd function/parameters

I should probably go read the gd docs again, but the col parameter to imageline is just an integer, right? So why can't you just treat ImageSetBrush() just like ImageColorAllocate()? ie. it returns an integer which can then be fed to subsequent image* calls. Or am I missing something? -Rasmus On Fri, 28 Jul 2000, James L.
