-This is a port of Thomas Boutell's gd graphics library. GD allows
-creating color drawings using a large number of graphics primitives,
-and emit the drawings as PNG files.

+for creating and manipulating PNG files. With this library you can
+create PNG images on the fly or modify existing files. Features
+include:
+
+a. lines, polygons, rectangles and arcs, both filled and unfilled
+b. flood fills
+c. the use of arbitrary images as brushes and as tiled fill patterns
+d. line styling (dashed lines and the like)
+e. horizontal and vertical text rendering
+f. support for transparency and interlacing
