What is GD4O?
-------------
GD4O is an OCaml interface to the GD graphics library. It is based on
OCamlGD 0.7, developed by Shawn Wagner. Since that package is not
actively maintained at present--and, to the best of my knowledge, its
author does not intend to continue working on it--I decided to take up
development.
The goal of this project is to provide a complete and up-to-date
interface to GD. The current version is very incomplete, but may be
usable for very simple graphics.
Major changes from OCamlGD
--------------------------
* GD4O uses Findlib
* New drawing objects:
polygon
filled_polygon
filled_ellipse
* Implemented antialiased drawing
* Truecolor images
* TrueType fonts
* Created more extensive test program, which draws most available
shapes and tests all output methods.
