Hi all.
I'm hunting for a method of creating labels under Linux.
I've already looked at everything on freshmeat.net that came up when I
searched for 'labels'. None of them cut it.
Requirements:
- Coloured, rotated ( 90 degrees ) text rendering
- Coloured rectangle rendering
That's it. You'd think one of the existing labelling packages would
accomodate me so far, right? Nope.
Background:
We have a filing system where each file has a label, which is made up of
( mainly ) coloured numbers ( ie each number gets a different colour
*background* ). This last bit ... the coloured background ... is what's
stopping me from using any of the existing labelling packages.
So now that I've decided that there isn't anything out there that does
what I want, I'm going to have to write something. What should I use?
I've had a brief look at PDF::API2, but I can't even figure out if it
does what I want - the documentation is a little nonexistant.
So should I use GD?

or use some of the PostScript::* modules to roll your own.
