GIFgraph - Graph Plotting Module
GIFgraph - Graph Plotting Module (deprecated)
use GIFgraph::moduleName;
GIFgraph is a perl5 module to create and display GIF output
for a graph.
GIFgraph is nothing more than a wrapper around GD::Graph, and its use is
deprecated. It only exists for backward compatibility. The documentation
for all the functionality can be found in the GD::Graph manpage.
This module should work with all versions of GD, but it has only been
tested with version 1.19 and above. Version 1.19 is the last version
that produces GIF output directly. Any version later than that requires
a conversion step. The default distribution of GIFgraph uses
Image::Magick for this. If you'd like to use something else, please
replace the sub png2gif in GIFgraph::Convert with something more to your
liking.
Note that if you use GIFgraph with a GD version 1.20 or up that any
included logos will have to be in the PNG format. The only time that GIF
comes into play is _after_ GD has done its work, and the PNG gets
converted to GIF. There are no plans to change that behaviour; it's too
much work, and for you, the user, it is a one time conversion of these
pictures, when you move from GD < 1.20 to GD >= 1.20.
