You will need to have that installed together with your PHPmodule for this library to work at all. Please refer to PHPdocumentation on specifics. Note that the newer versions of GD does notsupport the GIF format due to copyright problems. Hence by default onlyPNG is supported.</P><P> If you want JPEG support you will also need an additional libraryfor PHP, again please see PHP documentation for specifics. For mostpractical purposes PNG is a better format since it normally achievesbetter compression then GIF (typically by a factor of 2 for the typesof images generated by JpGraph). In comparison with JPEG format PNG isalso better for the type of images generated by this library. So, thebottom line is, you should have a very good reason to choose any otherformat then PNG.</P><P> By default the image format is set to "auto". This means thatJpGraph automatically chooses the best available graphic using thepreferred order "PNG", "GIF", "JPG".</P><P></P><HR NOSHADE><A HREF="toc.html">Contents</A><A HREF="331Plotextensionmodules.html">Previous</A><A HREF="35DetailedstepstoinstallJpGraph.html">Next</A></BODY></HTML>
