Bugs!

Notice!!
There is a bug in the examples that causes multiple require_once(‘jpgraph/whatever.php’); to fail.

Example:

require_once('jpgraph/jpgraph.php');
require_once('jpgraph/jpgraph_line.php');
require_once('jpgraph/jpgraph_bar.php');

The above example causes the following error:

PHP Warning:  include_once(): Failed opening 'jpgraph/jpgraph_bar.php' for inclusion ...

The Workaround

This error is resolved by changing the include path to ‘../’

Example

require_once('../jpgraph.php');
require_once('../jpgraph_line.php');
require_once('../jpgraph_bar.php');

Examples

21 2 Bar sets
23 Stacked bars
25 Adding text
26 Pie

y2synch.php – Sycronised Y and Y2 scales (deg F && deg C)
