Greetings, I’ve taken some of the suggestions here and made improvements to my Ruby/GD2 library. First, the gem: ``` ftp://ftp.mars.org/pub/ruby/gd2-1.0.gem ``` Some of the changes: - I took Matz’s feelings to heart and realized the weirdness with Palette#find! is probably because Palette#find clashed with Enumerable#find. So, I removed both methods and added Palette#resolve instead. (Palette#find used to be just an alias for Palette#exact.) - I’ve gone through and documented most of the library with RDoc, except for the Canvas class. I’m still working on this and may make some further improvements before finalizing the API. - I added Image.import and Image#export methods. These accept a filename and use the filename extension to determine the image format. - The Image#jpeg\_data, Image#png\_data, et al. methods are now just Image#jpeg, Image#png, etc. I left the non-destructive image operations alone, because they aren’t significantly more expensive than the destructive versions. (Either version must create a new gd image internally.) Thanks for everyone’s feedback, which I continue to welcome. I have one question: what is the process for including gems in the remote repository? Cheers, ---

If you’re wondering how to host your gem so that anyone can do a magical “gem install ” command, you need to create a RubyForge project by going to [rubyforge.org](http://rubyforge.org). Then when you upload your .gem file, mark it explicitly as a “gem” and RubyForge will do the rest for you (there’s a drop-down box for file types). Duane J. (canadaduane) ---

If all went well, there should now be a gd2 gem available to all. ---

Yup! ================ $ gem list --remote gd2 \*\*\* REMOTE GEMS \*\*\* Updating Gem source index for: [http://gems.rubyforge.org](http://gems.rubyforge.org) # gd2 (1.0) Ruby interface to gd 2 library.

I skipped right over the obvious that time… Thanks, tom
