 PREREQUISITES ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

  This library has been written to work with PHP 5+ versions. It will also work
  with PHP 4 but the rendering quality maybe downgraded and the rendering speed
  seriously impacted.

  pChart require the GD and FreeType PHP extensions to be installed on your
  web server. This is an important prerequiste that can't be overrided.  


 WHAT CAN pCHART DO FOR YOU? ──────────────────────────────────────────────────

  pChart is a PHP framework that will help you to create anti-aliased charts or
  pictures directly from your web server. You can then display the result in
  the client browser, sent it by mail or insert it into PDFs. 

  This library has now reached an important point in its development cycle
  going out of the beta step. pChart 2.0 is a completly rewritten library based
  on what I've learned doing the first version. 


 RUNNING THE EXAMPLES ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

  pChart is shipped with examples (located in the /examples folder) that you
  can either render from a web page using your http and pointing to this folder
  or from the command line invoking the php interpreter.

  On windows OS, assuming that your PHP binaries are correctly configured in
  the PATH environment variable you can also execute the BuildAll.cmd batch
  file.

 LICENSE ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

  If your application can't meet the GPL license or is a commercial one (eg:
  the library is integrated in a software or an appliance you're selling) then
  you'll have to buy a commercial license. With this license you don't need to
  make publicly available your application code under the GPL license terms.
  Commercial license price are depending of your needs

 SUPPORT ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

  Since the beginning, pChart is a community driven project. You're missing
  feature then ask! We'll try to get it implemented in the future version or
  you'll be guided to create a class extension for your own needs. 

  All the library classes and methods are explained on the pWiki pages. Just
  click on the documentation link on top of this page.
