In PHP, how does the interpretation of the $font parameter in the imagestring function affect the font size in dynamic graphics?

When using the imagestring function in PHP to create dynamic graphics, the $font parameter determines the font size based on the font file specified. To adjust the font size, you can either change the font file itself to a larger or smaller font size, or you can scale the image after it has been created to make the text appear larger or smaller. 

// Example of adjusting font size in dynamic graphics using imagestring function
$font = 5; // Font size parameter
$font_file = 'arial.ttf'; // Font file
$image = imagecreate(200, 50); // Create a blank image
$black = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 0); // Set text color to black
$text = 'Hello World'; // Text to display
imagestring($image, $font, 10, 10, $text, $black); // Draw text on image with specified font size
header('Content-Type: image/png'); // Set header for image output
imagepng($image); // Output image
imagedestroy($image); // Clean up memory
