I have, and so have all sorts of other people. Look at packages like jpgraph. GD does enough. It is a clean and simple library. The ImageMagick library is full of buffer overruns and crash bugs. Try drawing a big circle, for example. The thing writes all over memory it isn't supposed to. If it ever matures, or preferably gets a complete rewrite, I would consider it. -Rasmus On Sat, 13 Apr 2002, Daniel Lorch wrote: > Hi, > > >> why not replace GD by imagemagick which is better anyway? > > > Have you looked under the skirts of ImageMagick?
