Best language to create a dynamic image?

[Jackolantern]

Don't know why I didn't see this earlier. I recommend using CSS sprites over imagemagick, I'll have an indepth reasoning when I finish classes for the spring and can actually record dev diaries for my projects.

Yeah, Imagemagick isn't even an option for client-side image generation as far as I know. I thought the OP was needing to actually create images from scratch or source components. CSS is a much better, higher performance option for just moving elements around another image.
