Re: Imlib support...

Imlib2 looks pretty good to me. At least from the description. The fact that GD is limited to 8-bit colour is a real hassle. Imlib2 doesn't have that restriction. As far as rewriting from scratch. If someone is keen on doing it sure, but stuff like that tends to not get finished. Eric, if you know Imlib2 well enough to start attacking it, go for it. -Rasmus On Wed, 18 Oct 2000, Jani Taskinen wrote: > On Tue, 17 Oct 2000, Eric von Bayer wrote: > > >I apologize if this has been asked before, I have no clue, but has anyone > >considered creating imlib support in PHP?
