Wherever the ->GIFBUILDER object type is mentioned, these are the properties that apply. Using TypoScript, you can define a "numerical array" of :ref:`GIFBUILDER objects ` (like :ref:`TEXT `, :ref:`IMAGE `, etc.) and they will be rendered onto an image one by one. The name :typoscript:`GIFBUILDER` comes from the time when GIF was the only supported file format. PNG and JPG can be created as well today (configured with :ref:`$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['GFX'] `). **Table of Contents:** .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 5 :titlesonly: :glob: Examples Calc Properties ObjectNames/Index
