Syntax

FlpGrf.ImageToTransGif( FileName As String, Width As Integer, Height As String, TransparentIndex As Integer, DPI As Integer )

The ImageToTransGif method has these parts:

Part	Description
FlpGrf	An object expression that evaluates the Flipper Graph ASP object.
FileName	String representing the path and name of the destination file.
Width	Width of image in pixels.
Height	Height of image in pixels
TransparentIndex	An integer value representing a color in the color table.
DPI	Set the image resolution. Default is the screen resolution.

Remarks

This method saves the contents of the Flipper Graph Control image to a GIF file, which can then be included in other programs and on web pages. It also allows you to set the size of the image in pixels. The larger the image, the smaller the screen fonts will appear on the image. To compensate for this effect, you can set the dot per inch for the image and the fonts and line thickness will increase so larger images will appear in the same relative scale as the screen. For example, if the image was going to be printed to a HP LaserJet 4, then you would want a resolution of 300 DPI.
