#Chord Image Generator

http://einaregilsson.com/chord-image-generator/

Chord Image Generator is a small .NET library to generate images of guitar chords. It can display chord boxes, starting frets, barred chords, fingerings and open and muted strings.

There is a small example website at http://chordgenerator.net where you can try different chords and see how they are constructed. But basically it is just done by constructing the right url of the form /chordname/fret-positions/fingerings/size . E.g. the chords above are the following urls:

• http://chordgenerator.net/D.png?p=xx0232&f=---132&s=3
• http://chordgenerator.net/A.png?p=x02220&f=--123-&s=3
• http://chordgenerator.net/A_5.png?p=577655&f=134211&s=3

There is nothing web specific about the actual image generation. It can be saved to any stream so you could just as easily use it in a desktop application.
