Can I use the LibPNG DLL instead of compiling the code into GraphApp?

Yes, you can probably avoid linking libpng, libz and libjpeg, and instead link dynamically to the DLL versions of these libraries. The standard GraphApp distribution does not contain this option, because there are too many varieties of these DLLs floating around to guarantee that GraphApp will link to all of them correctly. Therefore, we just bundle with GraphApp some versions of these libraries which are known to work. But feel free to create a customised GraphApp Makefile which dynamically links to these libraries, and try it on your system. It should work fine.
