I often get a little confused about image handling in Plucker and want to make sure I have it straight:
There are two image sizes: - the "inline" size (--maxwidth, --maxheight) - the "alternate" size (--alt-maxwidth, --alt-maxheight) where you can click on an inline image to see it bigger The maximum image size in bytes in 64K (or is it a little smaller), which makes the maximum image sizes (for square images) the following: 1bpp 724x724 (echo '2 16^**vp' | dc) 2bpp 512x512 (echo '2 16^4*vp' | dc) 4bpp 362x362 (echo '2 16^2*vp' | dc) 8bpp 256x256 (echo '2 16^vp' | dc) 16bpp 181x181 (echo '2 16^2/vp' | dc) I can specify how big I want my images to be using the command line options. Hopefully I have that right. Given that, I have an enhancement request (unless it is already possible). What I'd rather do is let Plucker figure out the maximum sizes based on the the 64K limit and the aspect ratio of the image it is currently looking at. For inline images, I'd want it to scale down (but not scale up) to fit a maximum of 160 (or 320 for hires) wide (minus the scrollbar) with the height calculated from the aspect ratio. IF that's bigger than the 64K limit, scale down to fit in 64K. For alternate images, I'd want it to scale it down (but not up) to fit in the 64K limit and keep the aspect ratio. So if I'm working in 4bb on a hires device and my document had one image that was 640x480 and another that was 200x800, I want Plucker to scale both of them to fit into the 64K limit. (I think that's 416x312 for the first one and 181x724 for the second.) The inline images would be 320x240 and 181x724. The alternate images would be 416x312 and 181x724 (doesn't need an alternate image). _______________________________________________ plucker-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-list
