$text = imagecolorallocate ($img,255,255,255);
idea for a codework translating a text into image, char->pixel.
1 dimension as shades of gray, 1:1 could be translated back without loss.
colorspace has 3 dimensions 0-255, so you could either chunck 3 chars into
every pixel (or 6 with 7-bit 0-127 chars) (sequencial), or run 3 parallel, in
a 1:1 translation, like steganography; or have a generative, combinatoric
translation from 3d color to char-sequence, making a text-space from 1-d.
eg. a web gallery of ebooks, should be simple, but demanding some process on
the server.

(or do the same with a lossy format, jpg, and have approximated text
translation. ulysses at compression 25, finnegans wake at 1, or better, the
other way around, a genre book with much compression, a singular with little).
