Bitmap Output

Introduction

Bitmap images are made up of pixels in a grid. All pixels have their own individual color. Together pixels form an image.

Supported Bitmap Formats

Davisor Chart supports a variety of bitmap formats. Supported formats are:

image/png - Lossless, compressed PNG images.
image/jpeg - Lossfull, highly compressed JPEG images.
image/vnd.wap.wbmp - Wireless bitmap WBMP images.
image/vnd.davisor.wbmp - WBMP images, re-encoded as PNG.

Due to licensing issues with the GIF format, Davisor Chart does not directly support old GIF images. GIF legacy format can however be enabled with an external and free software library, as described in FAQ documentation.

Image parameters

Many bitmap image formats support a number of format specific options that adjust the fine details of bitmap encoding. These options may be specified with the imageParams attribute that accepts MIME type values
