<P> For the second class (built-in images) the following table list the
|
|
|
94 |
different images as well as what color they are available in. For the
|
|
|
95 |
built-in images you specify the color with the second argument.</P>
|
|
|
96 |
<P> Note that some of the images are available in different sizes. The
|
|
|
97 |
reason is that even though you can scale them by the third argument
|
|
|
98 |
there is a visual degradation to scale an image larger than it's
|
|
|
99 |
original size since some pixels needs to be interpolated. Reducing the
|
|
|
100 |
size with a scale < 1.0 gives much better visual apperance.</P>
|
|
|
101 |
<P> The scaling works with both GD 1 and GD 2 but with GD 2 the quality
|
|
|
102 |
of the scaling is much better.</P>
