I’ve just uploaded the 2nd in what I hope will be a continuing series of  
articles about RMagick. This one is part 1 of a 2- (or more) parter  
about alpha compositing. You can read it here:  
[http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/src\_over.html](http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/src_over.html)

RMagick is an interface to the ImageMagick ([http://www.imagemagick.org](http://www.imagemagick.org))  
and GraphicsMagick ([http://www.graphicsmagick.org](http://www.graphicsmagick.org)) image processing  
libraries. The RMagick home page is [http://rmagick.rubyforge.org](http://rmagick.rubyforge.org)

If you have an idea for an article you’d like to see, shoot me an email  
at this address or at removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid. Thanks!
