This invention provides a system and method to reduce rectangular graph images. According to the invention, the main graph and axis portions of a rectangular graph image are reduced separately such that readability and clarity of the entire graph image is maintained. The axes of the graph are reduced according to a position of the text values included on the axes of the image. The system may be accessed over a network by display devices when reducing for display images that include rectangular graphs.
