Graphics programmers arent the only ones who need to be proficient with graphics. Web and applications programmers know that a dull web page can be quickly transformed into one thats interesting and lively with the use of wellplanned graphics. And fortunately, you dont need the skills of a fulltime graphics programmer to use graphics effectively. From access counters and log report graphs to scientific plots and onthefly animated GIFs, graphics scripting is within the grasp of most web programmers. Using open source software, like Perl, you have the power to dynamically generate graphics based on user input and activity, easily manipulate graphics content, and optimize graphics for compression and quality. Geared toward Perl users and webmasters, Perl Graphics Programming focuses on opensource scripting programs that manipulate graphics files for use on the Web. The book demystifies the manipulation of graphics formats for newcomers to the Web with a practical, resourcelike approach. With this book youll learn to: Generate dynamic web graphics with charts, tables, and buttons Automate graphics tasks (thumbnails and borders) Create dynamics web documents (PDF, Postscript) Produce rich Internet experiences with Flash and SVG Youll begin with a tour of the most common web graphic file formatsPNG, JPEG, GIF, SWF, SVG, Postscript and PDFthen youll explore the most powerful tools and Perl modules available for manipulating these graphics, such as GD, PerlMagick, and GIMP. Included in this part of the book is a thorough description of the Ming module for creating onthefly Flash files. Next, a cookbook section includes practical, all purpose recipes: GIF animation, generating images within a dynamic application, communicating between SWF frontend and Perl backend, XSLT transformations, compression, and much more. Perl programmers naturally turn to Perl to tackle whatever challenge they have at hand, and graphics programming is no exception. Perl Graphics Programming provides all the tools you need to begin programming and designing graphics for the Web immediately. This book will change how you think about generating and manipulating graphics for the Web.
