The text is dynamic. Its actully specified in the url...


Thats actully the same image....


Dynamic resizing:





Thats all still the same image, its just being manipulated on the fly.

Yeah, it is. What, you think I would have done everything from scratch?


For those who dont see the point: I can store an image, and a thumbnail of that image, with no additional space....
The text is just a quick way to defile an image.

Cool!!

Can you set where the text is placed on the image?

Of course. Thats the last part of hte url, the "position=xxx,xxx" bit....

great, now you can make annoying pointless pwned images faster!

I'm assuming you haven't found a better workaround for the stdin problem?

Pfft. Perl > PHP. ..But what do I know.. Ive never used PHP. I have no reason to. . . except for that bloody STDIN problem.



I love it when someone clicks on a showcase thread, looks at the images, and replies, without ever giving thought to whats actully being showcased. Case in point: Emon.

It may be due simply to the fact that this is MY showcase, and he only clicked on it for a chance to flame or insult me. He hurriedly looked through the post, looking for something, *anything* that could be used as an insult. "Wait, uhh, all the images are the same! But he must be showcasing the image, what else could it possibly be?!?" So he hurriedly clicks reply, types out a quick, (and no doubt clever in his mind) remark about the repetitiveness of the images, and submits! He has to be fast, to be the first to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to take a jab at gbk, who was simply trying to showcase a bit of Perl code, lest someone else beat him to the punch!


[/rant]

Do yourslf a favor, Emon, next time, actully read the post before posting a flame.

Oh, that was good. Did you come up with that one all by yourself? I bet you had help...


BTW, for the guy at 81.68.164.145 using Opera, trying to spread the words "GBK SUCKS" accross the image; your doing it wrong. You have to put a + between each word, like this:

http://12.220.246.6/image.pl?imgname=test&comment=GBK+SUCKS&color=red&size=65&pos ition=10,350

I did read. Why do you assume I don't? Maybe you shouldn't go posting flames. I could just as easily go on about how you like to go, "Ooh, I've got Emon now, he looks like an idiot!" because that's what you're doing.

I know you were showcasing the dynamic text, and I was teasing it's uselessness because I knew that's all it would get used for. The quality control however, looks somewhat practical, but I think a thumbnail thing would be more practical.

------------------

Ok, Im sorry. My mistake.



Yeah, the text is more of a gimmick than anything else. Its a ***** to get right and it doesnt support new lines... I really wrote the script for the thumbnails. Quality control seemed like a good idea, and I suppose it was.


Any other ideas? Other than "get a life" or "go to hell", of course....

BTW, the thumbnails pwn all. I hate having twice as many images just so have thumbnails.

Ah, question: can you have multiple strings of words in different parts and fonts and stuff accross the image, or just the one string?

how can you screw up beavis' name? and butt-head is hyphenated.. geez... kids these days.

Ill release the code "once its finished", under the gbk license. The gbk license, of course, states that you can do absolutely *anything* you want with the code (spit on it, print it out and use it as TP, wallpaper, etc), just so long as its redistruted under the same license.... (similar to the GPL, but less restrictive)
Ill also release the code to the rest of my site, and my Content Management System, "One Its Finished"...



Yes, real-time thumbnails are why I initially started this project.



Just one string, currently. I would add support for more, but like I said, teh text is just a gimmick. The real purpose of the script is the dynamic resizing, quality, and soon to be, dynamic brightness and contrast controls...

------------------
The future is here, and all bets are off.

Ok, Ive streamlined the argument layout; they can now be any number, and in any combination.

Ive also added a few new features...

Brightness control: (100 is the original, < 100 darken, > 100 brighten)





Normilize:


Raise:



...And of course, the quality modifyer could be attached to any of those.

------------------
The future is here, and all bets are off.

This may be overdoing it a bit, but the age below has hte following effects enabled:

-Brightness lowered to 90
-A 10x10 edge (raise) aplied
-Quality set to 25%
-The words ROCK ON overlaid, color = white, text size = 75, position = 20 by 300...



And this is all done on the fly....

Yeah, Im proud.

------------------

Interestingly enough, I'm working on a CMS as well. The only difference is that I'm using PHP/MySQL for the backend as opposed to Perl. I've always found it painful to code web applications in Perl.


------------------
[This message has been edited. Deal with it.]

Yeah I wrote an image thingy in PHP (PHP uses the gdImage library to do this, not sure if that's what you're doing) to generate an image based on one float for color and one for brightness.

One float for color, you say? Yeah - you heard me right.

------------------

Ok, now they both have glasses. Yes, I agree, that was pointless.

I must admit, though--nice feature. I just can't see its practicality besides the brightening and resizing.

Holy balls thats pretty cool.
