<p>After installing the library a good check that everything works is to run the
included example scripts. Worth noting is that some of the examples uses TTF fonts.
This means that if you try to run those examples on an installation that does not
have any TTF fonts configured an error message will be displayed.</p>
<p><span class="bold"><strong>Running your first example</strong></span></p>
<p>If we assume that you have installed the library directly under the document root
on the HTTP server in a directory named "<code class="code">jpgraph/</code>" you can access the
examples in the "<code class="filename">jpgraph/Examples/</code>" directory by pointing your
browser for example to "<code class="filename">jpgraph/Examples/example0.php</code>" . This
should then show the same image as is displayed in <a class="xref" href="ch01s04.html#fig.example0" title="Figure 1.2. This is the very first example (example0.php)">Figure 1.2. This is the very first example <code class="uri"><a class="uri" href="example_src/example0.html" target="_top">(<code class="filename">example0.php</code>)</a></code> </a></p>
<p>If the above example works correctly you can run all the included examples by
pointing the browser to the script
"<code class="filename">jpgraph/Examples/testsuit.php</code>". This will automatically
generate all non-CSIM examples (for an explanation of CSIM graphs see ??) and show
them in one long list. Note that since this has more than 300 images it can take
some time to generate all example images.</p>
<p>
</p><div class="tip" title="Tip" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Tip</h3>
<p>In order to generate all CSIM examples you can run the testsuit with the
URL argument <code class="code">?type=2</code></p>
<p><code class="code">jpgraph/Examples/testsuit.php?type=2</code></p>
<p>You will then get a number of examples of so called drill-down charts
where a number of areas of the graphs a re hotspots which can be clicked to
open a specified URL. However, in these examples all the click-URL have just
dummy values which points back to the same file.</p>
