Image::Size is a library based on the image-sizing code in the wwwimagesize
|
||
|
|
script, a tool that analyzes HTML files and adds HEIGHT and WIDTH tags to
|
||
|
|
IMG directives. Image::Size has generalized that code to return a raw (X, Y)
|
||
|
|
pair, and included wrappers to pre-format that output into either HTML or a
|
||
|
|
set of attribute pairs suitable for the CGI.pm library by Lincoln Stein.
|
||
|
|
Currently, Image::Size can size images in XPM, XBM, GIF, JPEG and PNG
|
||
|
|
formats.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I did this because my WWW server generates a lot of documents on demand
|
||
|
|
rather than keeping them in static files. These documents not only use
|
||
|
|
directional icons and buttons, but other graphics to annotate and highlight
|
||
|
|
sections of the text. Without size attributes, browsers cannot render the
|
||
|
|
text of a page until the image data is loaded and the size known for layout.
|
||
|
|
This library enables scripts to size their images at run-time and include
|
||
|
|
that as part of the generated HTML. Or for any other utility that uses and
|
||
|
|
manipulates graphics. The idea of the basic interface + wrappers is to not
|
||
|
|
limit the programmer to a certain data format.
