Using Linux Arachne 4.1.66, the uptime graph at
http://www.netcraft.com/whats?host=wizard.dyndns.org
only shows a black box where the graph should be.
Right-click it, reload, and then back-arrow, and
now it's displayed as a red box.
Errors in the xterm from which I ran it look like
this:
# These guys are irrelevant, but I figured I'd leave them in:

Arachne has just succesfuly collapsed...
These error messages would seem to indicate that
the graph is a 32-bit png file, which "convert" is
unable to change into bmp... HOWEVER, the file,
/home/steve/.arachne/cache/996422383.BMP DOES exist
with a color depth of 16 bits, (truecolor with
transparancy) yet IS NOT able to be opened with xv,
zgv, or even gimp, but IS able to be displayed
by ImageMagick (display).
NOW, if I manually use "convert" to change the PNG
to a BMP like so:
'convert -colors 24: 996422383.PNG 996422383.BMP'
xv, gimp, and zgv can now see this BMP file, which is
now truecolor but no longer transparent.
Arachne still displays it as a red box, however. :-(
The line in mime.conf looks like this:
image/png PNG>BMP|convert $1 bmp24:$2
I've changed it every way that seems sensible, but
I still can't get a BMP that Arachne can view.
Anyone?
- Steve (also wondering if DOS A1.70 can see this graph)
