Gallery - (c) 1996,97 by Markus Hillenbrand
===========================================
PURPOSE
This program is intended for creating nice looking HTML pages with small
thumbnails of pictures. It creates a gallery where you can click through
(in order to see the pictures).
This piece of software is written in a forthcomming C++ class library for
the Amiga, which is easy to use and intuitive. If you are interested in
this class library, feel free to contact me.
REQUIREMENTS
Amiga Operating System v 39
GfxCon 1.7 (included in the package)
web browser which can handle tables and frames (only in order to see the results)
INSTALLATION
You only have to click on the «install» icon. If you want to install it
by hand, just copy the executable «Gallery» to any place on your hard disk
(if you want to use it from shell, this place must be in your path), and
make shure that «GfxCon_68020» is in your path.
USAGE FROM CLI
Synopsis:
Gallery STARTDIR/A,MAXENTRIES/N,BGPATTERN
Arguments:
STARTDIR: The directory to scan. All subdirectories will be scanned,
too. This directory will then contain a file named
«index.html» which will be the starting point for your web
browser.
MAXENTRIES:The number of lines each gallery will have, and each line
has four pictures. Values between four and 200 are accepted.
BGPATTERN: A file name of a picture that will be used as default back-
ground pattern in all generated html files. This file name
must be relative to STARTDIR. NEVER use a absolute file name
for this argument, your web browser won't work properly.
Examples:
1.> Gallery Pictures:StarTrek trek.gif
This will create a gallery in Pictures:StarTrek named index.html.
The background pattern will be Pictures:StarTrek/trek.gif.
2.> Gallery dh5: 6
This will create a gallery for the whole dh5: partition. There won't
be a pattern, but if there are more than 4 * 6 = 24 pictures in any
subdirectory, more galleries will be created
USAGE FROM WORKBENCH
Just click on the program's icon and the window will pop up.
Any function the window offers is described in the botton line
of the window. Just move the mouse around.
