Simple Graphics Library

I am looking to apply for Shad Valley, and, as anyone else applying knows, you are required to submit a 'creative page'. Since creativity is not my strong suit, I have decided to submit a height map generation algorithm I used for one of my games. My plan is to print the code with a watermark of the program output behind it. Unfortunately, I lost the original code, and so re-wrote it in Turing (only because that's the language I'm most comfortable with). The problem is that I don't want to submit my final copy in Turing. I am a fairly quick learner, and I already have a version of the code developer, so the language doesn't matter. What I am looking for is a language or library that supports simple graphics (simple as in little code required, and no external images needed). If anyone can recommend a language and accompanying library to use for a problem like this, I would greatly appreciate it.


P.S. Keep in mind that I only have one page so I am looking for a language with little overhead.

ImageMagick comes to mind.. and there are bindings to a lot of languages. Python or Ruby are always a good choice.
