If it wasn't clear, I'll change the wording a bit. There is however no secret that the GD library has it's troublesome past, both in design and maintenance history. Even if just making a fill pattern in GD is three lines of code, it does not increase the overall quality of the library (which, now as it has been adapted completely by PHP project (instead of maintaining two separate versions, as became necessary when GD development actually picked up again, and "we" were left with both a bundled version and a non-bundled version), actually have the potential to receive a quality boost).

What is described in this post is done in three lines of code using GD. Get a clue, and fix your trackback too. Hi,
