Imager will certainly let you draw linear 'noise' and add text. But it will do so much more on top of that that it is a /huge/ module. You will find this with any generic graphics package and the best way is probably a bespoke C extension that can create the graphics for you. Imager, like GD, needs third-party software installing and building, but I found it quite straightforward. I suggest you try it and, if it causes too much of a memory hit, then write some custom code. HTH, Rob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
