[mrtg] Re: Netscape

[SHOLAAS Margaret G]

I'm running MRTG on Windows, and have NO IDEA what version of Thomas
Boutell's GD Library might be present on my machine, if it is at all!

At one point in the MRTG versions, changing the value of the GRAPHFMT
variable controlled what format was used on my Windows machine. It looks
like that should no longer be used; apparently there is no other option than
.png at this time? Not all versions of Netscape support .png so apparently
the only option is to upgrade to a version of Netscape that does?

The information provided is insufficient to identify the nature of the
problem.  Netscape Navigator is capable of displaying both GIF and PNG
graphic images.  It does, however, have a problem with transparent PNG
images.  I'm using versions 4.73 and 4.75 of Netscape.

I am still running 2.8.12 of MRTG.  There wasn't a need to make any changes
to the code as it determined which graphic image format it was going to
generate based on the version of Thomas Boutell's GD Library that you had
present when you configured MRTG.
