Really interested in this class - just what I have been looking for, though there are a couple of things that don't quite fit what I want:

1. You mentioned in the Info about 'future' being to plot lat/lon on a map (that is EXACTLY what I want to do!) - the class has been up for 4 years with no update - is this not coming?

2. I really need dynamic loading, not stored to a picture (users with the map want to move around or zoom in, etc. and see things update)

Super interested in this if it can do these things! (would even be open to a fee to make it work - licensing can be discussed)

Yours is the first question since I posted it. There hasn't been much call to do more with it. So the Lat/Long features never got done.

Honestly, if I was going to do this as a dynamic deal, I wouldn't bother with server-side processing. Since I wrote this, I spent a few years deep-diving with HTML5. I'd offload the work to the browser with JavaScript and handle it in a canvas element.

GD is a slow, bothersome library. I had to figure out how to calculate a multiply blend since it doesn't offer it. I'd recommend ImageMagick, but that recently had a big ZeroDay issue. The browser is your best bet.
