      • PNG - Prints the map graphics in the PNG (Portable Network Graphics) format. An industry standard binary format which is compatible with HTML and a majority of graphics paint programs.

      • JPG - Prints the map graphics in the JPEG format. An industry standard binary format which is compatible with HTML and a majority of graphics paint programs.

      • GIF - Not currently available. Software patents which apply to the GIF format have expired in the United States but are still applicable to Europe and Japan. The European and Japanese patents will expire in 2004.

        Please support efforts to repeal legislation which allows software patents. Patents should be not be allowed on mathmatical concepts or ideas only.

        If GIF files were supported this functionality would have the following description:

        Prints the map graphics in the GIF format. An industry standard binary format which is compatible with HTML and a majority of graphics paint programs.

        GIF files have the highest resolution of all of the available Visual SIMMOD binary output formats. But, they have the lowest number of colors available, see note below.

        Please note: The industry standard architecture for GIF files limits them to 256 colors. This is not a Visual SIMMOD issue, it is an issue with the definition of what a GIF file is. Thus, screen snapshots that attempt to incorporate more than 256 colors may result in washed out colors or colors that do match what is presented on the Visual SIMMOD map graphics
