Hello,
I'm a bit of a Linux beginner and would appreciate any helpful suggestions.
I have a web page that produces GIF images with variable text on them (produced by PHP4).
I need to find some software that I can use to produce a file of instructions that can be sent to a commercial print company to use in typesetting to produce a similar (but vastly higher quality) image for printing.
Does anyone know of such a package? (I would also need to be able to programmatically control the software from one of PERL, PHP,or BASH).
Thanks
Karl Middleton

Use PNG not GIF if you can.

Sounds like you need Postscript, of some flavour.
I don't know what the interfaces from the languages you suggest to recommend, though. Anyone got some ideas?

gd has interfaces for c, perl, python, php and so on. There are also some handy binaries that you can use from the command line. It won't produce GIF files. http://www.boutell.com/gd/
