<p>All error messages are stored in an array with a specific index that cannot be
changed. This index is used in the library to reference a specific error message. </p>
<p>Since error messages can also have additional parameters the error messages also
includes count that specifies how many arguments must be handled to enable some
error checking when using the error message in the code (to make sure we have enough
arguments).</p>
<p>The arguments are formatted in the error text in the same way as parameters in the
<codeclass="code">printf()</code> family of functions.</p>
<p>To create a localized error resource file You should first copy the
"<codeclass="filename">en.inc.php</code>" to a temporary file, rename it according to
the locale you are creating and then translate each error message according to the
locale. The make sure that the file is stored under the
"<codeclass="filename">jpgraph/lang/</code>" catalogue and the new localized error
messages can be used. </p>
<p>For example. To create a French version of the error messages the
<codeclass="filename">lang/en.inc.php</code> should be copied to
<codeclass="filename">lang/fr.inc.php</code> and the error messages translated. The
French locale can then be used by using the string "<codeclass="code">fr</code>" as identified
in <codeclass="code">SettErrLocale()</code> as described above.</p>
