Hello, i am very new to ROR.

i want to use ROR to generate a dynamic image which is a combinationn of  
some other images and some strings. and then people can use ![]() tag to display that image. like the  
web page counters, which is a combination of a serious of images of  
numbers.

is there any ROR library can do this? or i have to use php for that?

thanks.  
Yu
