<title>Introduction</title>
<p>
The egd module is an interface for 2d-image rendering and is used by
Percept to generate dynamic graphs to its web pages. All code is pure
erlang, no drivers needed.
</p>
<p>
The library is intended for small to medium image sizes with low
complexity for optimal performance. The library handles horizontal
lines better then vertical lines.
</p>
<p>
The foremost purpose for this module is to enable users to
generate images from erlang code and/or datasets and to
send these images to either files or web servers.
