Size and Check Images Thingy

What it is -- what it ain't

This device is for studying graphics. It writes a page to your cache to show your selections. You can not save the page or transload it. It is designed to let you see how a graphic behaves without having to write a test page.

Input boxes -- how to use.

IMAGE:

Will auto load if you use f-key or recents thingy to enter after viewing graphic. Width and height are displayed in the title bar.

You may type or cut and paste the url of the image you wish to study. If you C/C/P, remember to erase what is already there before you paste your url.

Image H and W:

Control the size of the image.

Leave both blank and you will see the image at normal size.

Leave height blank and you will see the image's height sized proportionally to width.

These do not affect the image as background or image as border functions.

BG color:

This is used to make any background color on the image and border functions. If your graphic has a transparent background, BG color will show through.

You may use hexidecimal codes or color names of 6 letters or less, i.e. black, indigo, aqua.

Border size and Border color:

Enter color codes as with the BG color input. Enter the number of pixels for border width. The check box is used to create an inverted border around your image.

Transparency:

Default set to 0 %. Enter 1 - 99 to see image with transparency. This factor works for image (with border) and upper right functions. Don't forget, some images do not 'respond' to transparency attribute.

Grid size and color:

Used to 'print' an image on graph paper. Choose size of grid and color of lines using the selection buttons. Default is grid over image. The second check box will put the image on the grid. The third check box will hide the image for printing plain graph paper. Printer options must be set to "print background images". IF MSNTV would read javascript correctly, we could have any combination of grid size and color.
Transparency affects this function.

Output functions.

Transparency input affects this output.

Grid on Image:

Displays the image superimposed on a grid. The top of the image will align with the second line from the top. This function supports transparency attribute on the image. Printer options must be set to "Print background Images".
