Jesper Veggerby (http://pear.php.net/user/nosey) has commented on the proposal for Images::Image_Driver. Comment: Rolf is right here, Image_Transform (AFAIK) performs actions on an already existing image where as Image_Driver is used for creating this image - it's basically the canvas with (as Rolf says) operations for painting on it. The idea was to provide a common interface, so that developers of packages in the Images category, simply passes the drivers amongst each other to avoid: 1) Redundancy 2) Format independency Think of Image_Graph passing a driver on to Image_Isometric "ordering" it to paint the 3D figures on it making out a cool 3D plot. Or maybe all Images packages passing their driver to Image_Text to write text, Image_Color to do the color handling, etc...
