Plug-in constructor. The size of the resulting GIF image will be the same as the size of the chart Container.

Parameters:

container - Container of the chart for image rendering.

Method Detail

setTransparent

public void setTransparent(boolean useTransparent)

Used to indicate if background is transparent or not.

Parameters:

useTransparent - - True if background is transparent.

setLZW

public void setLZW(boolean useLZW)

Used to indicate whether we are using LZW algorithm. Images encoded with LZW algorithm generally are smaller, but using LZW algorithm for GIF requires license from UNISYS.

Parameters:

useLZW - - True if LZW algorithm will be used.
