Dynamically generated graphs

phpDiveLog optionally can generate dynamical graphs, if you configured it accordingly (see Configuration). In some cases this is to replace graphs which are provided by the conduit of ADL, in other cases these are providing additional information:

Dive Profiles

These are usually provided by the conduit – but the images created that way differ in size and sometimes don't fit the layout and/or design of the pages. So we left it to the site admin (and/or diver) which ones are preferred: With the $use_dyn_profile_png parameter of the Configuration (and optionally also the divers system.conf) you can define which ones to use.

Dive Schedules

These are not provided by the conduit – but with PDL, you can integrate them into the profile graph, or display a separate schedule graph. If you use this graph, you can even decide to disable the schedule table, since the graph gives the same information in a more decent way.

Statistic Graphs

These are what you may be used to by ADLs statistics plugin – but they are not handled by the conduit. So PDL offers you to create them, to spice up its statistics page. You can even decide to have transparent backgrounds be used with them. Beside beefing up the statistic page, they give you statistic information at a glance, so you do not need to compare numbers – visual information is easier to catch :)
