Du point de vue des programmeurs, les JPEG ou GIF diffèrent grandement des graphiques XBM. Ces deux formats de fichiers sont manipulés au niveau du bit à l’aide de schémas de compression. Ils peuvent supporter un large éventail de profondeurs de couleurs. Le seul moyen vous permettant de créer ces types de graphiques web à la volée consiste à utiliser des scripts côté serveur [...] 2, record 7, French, - comprimer%20les%20donn%C3%A9es%20%C3%A0%20la%20vol%C3%A9e
