[PHP] Re: PHP GD - Nevermind! Thanks!

2002-02-13 Thread J Smith


For a site I work for, I've found two decent uses:

0. Our logo is dynamically created on demand. The logo features a random 
DNA-blot distibution and a random wave-like pattern, some like what you'd 
see in a graphic equalizer on a stereo display. Each time our logo is 
viewed, it's slightly different, even though they all look more or less the 
same. (The pattern of blots and the wave nodes is slightly different, but 
the lettering and such is the same.)

1. We can create graphs and such for our site logs on demand, i.e. we track 
usage stats for users and can display a ton of statistics through a handful 
of PHP scripts on a per-demand basis. 

There's a lot of stuff you can do with the GD extension. Check out some of 
the slide shows on http://conf.php.net, like Rasmus' Spinal Injection or 
whatever the hell it's called. Has a few good examples in it.

 Anyone have any idea what would be a practical application of GD nowadays?
 Doesn't seem to be practical to me.

Well, you might want a consistent title image across your site, but with 
differing text according to where one is in the site structure. So you 
make a different image for each situation, or you use GD etc to put your 
defined text on a common image?

Or you might want to build a graph of data?
