ImageMagick and GD Library
What is ImageMagick used for? What precisely is the GD Library? What is the reason for their worldwide popularity?
If you would want to have dynamic images on your internet site, the web server where you host it should have the correct software for that. As opposed to using static images with a fixed size, you can have thumbnails and automatically resized images depending on the device a site visitor uses or you could even flip and invert images using a script app. All of these things are possible through ImageMagick and GD library - 2 pieces of software which may be set up on a web server and that work with a wide range of widespread scripting languages such as: Perl, Python and PHP. In this way, you may use images with any web-based application you want, regardless what language it was developed with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The 2 libraries will enable you to work with over 100 different image formats including GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, and so on.
