Yup, GDLib bindings is not really necessary, since squeak graphics is capable enough to do the same and even more. On 9 August 2010 19:26, Schwab,Wilhelm K <bschwab@anest.ufl.edu> wrote:
One can always load the graphic into a Form instance and send #getCanvas to that; then message like #drawString:at:font:color: are available, after which you can save the modified form to a new file using #writeJPEGFileNamed:.

The one thing that Windows does well is device (quasi)independence. Â I miss GDI's handling of printers. Â There, I said something nice about Microsoft; that covers me until 2020 :)

I wonder what would be the right way in Smalltalk to use a popular graphics library such as gdlib? I use it currently from my current lisp-based web site to overlay text (using different fonts) on top of pre-defined png and jpeg images. Since I didn't find any smalltalk bindings (plugins?) for the library I wonder maybe there are some built-in tools in Pharo/Squeak that do the same job?
Thank you, Andrei
