Hi
You can generate jpegs and pngs but not gifs because the gif image format is commercial. I think you must have a license to create gif images.
rumour is the GIF license is free again. Compuserve gave it up. Free software will (in time) be able to support it again ... if they wish...
I can't really confirm that rumour though. anyone ?
