Greetings,
I've taken some of the suggestions here and made improvements to my Ruby/GD2 library.
First, the gem:
ftp://ftp.mars.org/pub/ruby/gd2-1.0.gem
Some of the changes:
- I took Matz's feelings to heart and realized the weirdness with Palette#find! is probably because Palette#find clashed with Enumerable#find. So, I removed both methods and added Palette#resolve instead. (Palette#find used to be just an alias for Palette#exact.)
- I've gone through and documented most of the library with RDoc, except for the Canvas class. I'm still working on this and may make some further improvements before finalizing the API.
- I added Image.import and Image#export methods. These accept a filename and use the filename extension to determine the image format.
- The Image#jpeg_data, Image#png_data, et al. methods are now just Image#jpeg, Image#png, etc.
I left the non-destructive image operations alone, because they aren't significantly more expensive than the destructive versions. (Either version must create a new gd image internally.)
Thanks for everyone's feedback, which I continue to welcome.
I have one question: what is the process for including gems in the remote repository?
Cheers,
···

I think you're hitting this:
http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/161508
You may want to rebuild the Gem with Ruby 1.8.2...
Yours,
Tom

Perhaps your question is more basic in nature? If you're wondering how to host your gem so that anyone can do a magical "gem install <your-gem-here>" command, you need to create a RubyForge project by going to rubyforge.org. Then when you upload your .gem file, mark it explicitly as a "gem" and RubyForge will do the rest for you (there's a drop-down box for file types).

Ah, quite right, thanks Duane! I skipped right over the obvious that
time...
Thanks,

Thanks!
If all went well, there should now be a gd2 gem available to all.
