I don't think your image is 20x10 pixels, so I have no idea what it
actually is. And not knowing if you need to resize the image or not,
the format you have, the format you want it in or any of a dozen other
things, it's hard to say.
But the documentation is pretty good. For instance, imagecreate will
create an image, imagechar will write a string to the image (it requires
a colors created with imagecolorallocate), etc.
The notes have some good examples of what you can do with them.
