Main Text:
We use a two column format provided by
Using a Many existing questions generate image files with larger dimensions than necessary, but scale them down so as to be unreadable in HTML and PDF output, which makes them hard or impossible to use. If you have the time to make a graph, take the extra time to make it an appropriate size in both HTML and PDF output. |
