    function plot($x, $y, $color=0)
    {

        imagesetpixel($GLOBALS['img'], $x, $y, $color);
    }

?>

Try it, youll see that there should be a solid line 800 pixels wide. There is not, at least on my end. The FireFox WebDeveloper addon (the ruler tool under misc->display ruler) shows the top line at about 83 pixels wide.

Depending on your HTML code to insert the image, your browser could resize the image to fit the page elements.
