In order to use a library like this you will need familiarity with the arguments which are oten data types deined within the library itself such as gdmagePtr which is a pointer to some kind of structure containing all the data for an image to be processed or stored. hese may all seem unusual but ater a while you will begin to get used to the syntax and on-line documentation and begin to see patterns in the complexity.
