Ruby-LibGD v0.2.4 demonstrates 2D and 3D rendering capabilities through three code examples: a gradient background with 3D rainbow text extrusion, a rotating rainbow torus with perspective projection and lighting, and a shaded multicolor sphere with specular highlights. The examples showcase text rendering with TrueType fonts, parametric surface generation, rotation transformations, perspective projection, HSV color space manipulation, and Lambertian shading with depth-based painter's algorithm.

A quick DEMO of Ruby-LibGD v0.2.4.
