What are the best practices for separating image generation code from HTML output in PHP, particularly when using PHPlot?

When using PHPlot to generate images in PHP, it is best practice to separate the image generation code from the HTML output to improve code organization and maintainability. One way to achieve this is by creating a separate PHP file for the image generation code and then including the image in the HTML output using an <img> tag. 

// image_generation.php
require_once &#039;phplot.php&#039;;

$plot = new PHPlot(800, 600);
$data = array(
    array(&#039;Jan&#039;, 10),
    array(&#039;Feb&#039;, 20),
    array(&#039;Mar&#039;, 15),
    // Add more data points as needed
);
$plot-&gt;SetDataValues($data);
$plot-&gt;SetTitle(&#039;Sample PHPlot Image&#039;);
$plot-&gt;SetXTitle(&#039;Month&#039;);
$plot-&gt;SetYTitle(&#039;Value&#039;);
$plot-&gt;DrawGraph();

// index.php
&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
    &lt;title&gt;PHPlot Example&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
    &lt;h1&gt;PHPlot Example&lt;/h1&gt;
    &lt;img src=&quot;image_generation.php&quot; alt=&quot;PHPlot Image&quot;&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
