I think the hard part is actually making an understandable web interface so that the client can either input the correct coordinates to the program that renders the boxes, which is all they really are from what I saw on the site. Once getting the coords you can send them to a program like cfx_imageflare, Image Magik, or even cfx_image, which do good jobs generating images.
Could be as simple as a couple of form fields...making the client think in x/y might be tough though :) I'd be tempted to even do a layer/css javascript based point and click visual designer if they wanted to get really slick. Heck, the front end could just output the layers absolutely positioned too. Images have their advantages though. http://www.domapi.com/examples/index.cfm Select resize from the dropdown...DOMApi can create and remove resizeable and dragable layers on the fly and then get their X and Y coords when finished. Flash could do something similar I imagine. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Monday, September 30, 2002, 11:17:25 PM, you wrote: HH> A friend of mine is trying to develop a site for a potential client but is stuck on one requirement.
