Is there shape drawing tool (like PHP) in Ruby? I don't want plug-in... :(

It was a great information that it is possible to use SVG in Ruby.
Thanks for that. :slight_smile:

But, I don't want to require users to install plug-ins.
And I don't need any vector feature.
What I need is a simple drawing tool.
Isn't there any?

See which browsers they have, and which support SVG already.
many do now.

Simple drawing && no vectors? I don't know.

This any good?

Hi,

I don't know what drawing library in PHP are you saying.
In PHP, image* functions[1] are just wrappers for GD library.
Ruby also has several bindings for GD library.

  * gRuby: http://gruby.sourceforge.jp/index.en.html
  * Ruby/GD2: http://rubyurl.com/yNW
  * ruby-gd: http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/ruby-gd/

BTW, I think ImageMagick has more powerful features than GD.
See rmagick: http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/

More graphics libraries can be found on RAA:
