If outputting a JPEG is ok, why bother? I guess you could up the output quality to prevent blurring... I don't have code to hand, but I can tell you how to go about it: Look up the Gif89a format spec; it will tell you how to write the header (desired bits-per- pixel, size, etc). Count the number of different colors you use. Set the bits-per-pixel to the lowest value such that 2^bpp>= numcols+1, and encode at bpp+1 actual bits per pixel, always referring to entries in the _existing_ palette, one entry per pixel. This is obviously less efficient than the LZW expanding-dictionary scheme, but avoids patent infringement. I recommend writing this as a PHP function that accepts an image structure and returns a bit-string; that will make it very easy to integrate into your scripts. ... if this sounds too complicated, you could always hire me to do it instead (hint, hint). -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
