Graphics Programming with Perl provides a reference for tools and techniques that can be used to manipulate and create graphics with the Perl programming language. Content ranges from simple recipes for graphics design using Perl modules to the development of robust and flexible software modules that can be used to manipulate those graphics. The book provides examples and techniques for more complex use of selected modules. Also included are methods for using graphics in Web applications and general principles in dealing with graphics and graphics formats. Graphics Programming with Perl is geared for the intermediate or advanced Perl programmers who want to- -or need to--explore the world of graphics programming. The author assumes at least a working knowledge of Perl. However, beginning users will still find it useful for its recipes and explanations of the modules used.
