ImageMagick and GD Library
Uncover what ImageMagick is and what the GD Library is used for and why they are so well liked.
If you would like to have dynamic images on your site, the server where you host it should have the suitable software for this. As opposed to using static images with a fixed size, you could have thumbnails and automatically resized images based on the device a website visitor uses or you could even flip and invert images through a script application. All these things are feasible with ImageMagick and GD library - two pieces of software that may be installed on a server and which work with a wide range of widely used scripting languages like: Perl, Python and PHP. This way, you could use images with any web-based app that you would like, regardless what language it was created with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The two libraries will allow you to work with over one hundred different image formats like GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, and so forth.
