[Typo3-dev] php/gd fallback resize functions in absence of ImageMagick

[Michiel Roos]

Hi,

Is it hard to implement fallback functions for image resizing for cases
where ImageMagick is not installed? Or is there a dependancy hell on GD
and optional libraries? GD is bundled with php since 4.3.

Hmm, seems it is not quite ready for production environments. Gif write
support is only available for php 4.3.9 and 5.0.1 (or later). Png images
ruiquire libpng and jpeg require libjpeg. These libs are probably not
installed on all systems by default. But they might be installed on more
systems than ImageMagick is.

Any other info/ideas on this?

Cheers,


Michiel Roos
