PNG (portable network graphics) and JPEG formats are very
common on the web. Gif is not such a good format on the web,
because gif is fat.
Different formats of the same stata graph, with size:
tata.eps 9981
tata.png 6919
tata.jpg 11114
tata.gif 115882
My stata knows about PNG, but only from the menu (unless I
missed something). -graph export tata.png, as(png)- does not
work. In any case, imagemagick <http://www.imagemagick.org>
does the conversion between 68 major formats for free, and
runs also under MS-windows.
