Overloads
- public void SaveImage(string filename);
- public void SaveImage(string filename,ImageFormat format);
- public void SaveImage(string filename,ImageFormat format,int dpi);
- public void SaveImage(string filename,ImageFormat format,TextRenderingHint textmode);

Description
To prepare an image for publication, you may need a DPI setting of 300-1200 depending on the demands of the repro house. For a chart to be shown on the web, a resolution of 96dpi is generally adequate. The text will be anti-aliased by default, but you may over-ride the text-rendering algorithm by passing in the standard .Net rendering hint as a final option.
