Editorial Reviews

Review

"A fine book... The section on designing graphics for the Web is, if you'll allow a slight exaggeration, flawless..." -- Perl.com

"Tons of annotated code examples, comparisons and explanations...this book is bloody brilliant." -- Perl Monks.org

Product Description

Perl users learn tools and techniques that can be used to create and manipulate graphics with the Perl programming language. Topics range from simple graphics recipes to the development and design of flexible graphics software. Between these two extremes are examples of more complex uses of selected modules, such as using graphics in Web applications, and more general techniques for dealing with graphics and graphics formats. Source code downloads and technical support from the authors are available on publisher's Web site.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book Available, August 12, 2002
By Michael Accardo (Florida USA) - See all my reviews
Simply put: if you want to learn how Perl can interact with graphics, then you need to get this book. It is far superior to O'Reilly's outdated and thin book, Programming Web Graphics with Perl & GNU Software.

Thankfully Graphics Programming with Perl does not limit itself to Web graphics. While dedicating many chapters to Web graphics, the author also discusses topics, such as 3D animation using OpenGL and Renderman, that most people do not associate with the Perl programming language. Very informative!

The author, Martien Verbruggen, cleary knows his stuff and it shows, especially in the opening chapters where he presents in-depth overviews of the bits and pieces in graphics programming (e.g, the drawing primitives, color spaces and palettes, file formats, et cetera). Many other books would probably breeze through such information, but not here. Not only did I learn about the graphic tools available to the Perl programmer, but I also learned a great deal about the graphic programming world in general.

A good discussion of Perl graphics programming - however, it needs updating to discuss the GD 2 graphics library.
