I've used a tool from Aspose (Aspose.PDF.kit) to generate a JPG thumbnail on the fly of a PDF for a .NET application. This works great, but what kind of other alternatives are there? Codeproject.com has this tutorial, but it requires you to have the full version of Acrobat. Is there an open source alternative that's geared for ASP....
Is there a .NET library I can use to programmatically generate my own GIF images? At a minimum I'd like to build it pixel-by-pixel. Better would be support for text and shapes. Here's an example of what I'm trying to do. I mocked this up in Photoshop What do you recommend? ...
How would you generate an JPG image file containing data fields that are stored and updated within a database table? The image would then be regenerated every hour or so reflecting the latest values within the database table. You would start with a basic background image, and then the generated image should contain data fields (e.g. av...
Hi All, I'm creating a webapp that has various unrelated data types (House, Contact, Article, Recipe, Fact -etc). I am giving each one a 'thumbnail' automaticaly.

Hi, We are looking for some code/component that can create a flow-chart (image) dynamically, preferably in .NET/C# (although a Silverlight/Flash-component that takes a XML/JSON-feed will also be fine).

Wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a tool to auto-generate a large number of logos. Basically text (need to control font and kerning) next to a static image. I'm thinking of using Apache FOP since I've used it in other contexts previously, but since its core use case is generating PDF documents, I'm wondering if there's somethi...
Hello, I'm working in a course's project to predict the velocity and position of the solar system planets (and other objects). It will be really cool if I can visualize the predicted objects data, if it's possible generating 3D images, if in video that's amazing. Do you know any library that lets me to use this data to generate an ima...

Using PHP: How can I create an image to display an email address (to help reduce spam)?

How do I do that? I want the font to be: color: #20c font: 11px...
I'm looking for a Java library that will can take a PDF and create a thumbnail image (PNG) from the first page. I've already looked at JPedal, but its insane licensing fee is completely prohibitive. I am using iText to manipulate PDF files at the moment, but I believe it doesn't do thumbnail generation. I can use something like Ghostscr...

To give an example on why this would be useful, I have found as of a couple days ago, that laying out the wireframe for a webpage ...

The generation process will be one of those where the user can select different heads, hairstyles, clothing, etc. Some items will also be unavailable at first and will have to be earned or purchased. I already have a fair idea on how to do this, but since it ...
