mod_ometer: what in the wide world of sports is it??
|
mod_ometer is a web counter implemented as an apache C module. It
uses gd 2.0.28
or later to generate its images. Gd has some built-in fonts,
but for real excitement you can use any TrueType font you want
for the counter.
In addition to allowing font choice, mod_ometer has all
sorts of options for customizing size, width and color
of your counter as well as the ability to output the
counter as jpeg, png, or gif.
