Description: ------------ It would be helpful to add a function to GD driver that would return a gd image resource. This way we can perform some functions using this class, then instead of saving the image, get the gd image resource and then we could continue working with that resource or pass it to another class. for example Image_Text::set() accepts an image resource as $canvas option. I think this can be as easy as returning $this->imageHandle

This bug has been fixed in CVS. If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET). If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should be live shortly. Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release. Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better.
