<gxml></gxml>

Provided by module: Graphics: GXML tag

Manipulates images in different ways using layers.

It is possible to make much more advanced manipulation using <gtext></gtext> than with for instance <cimg/>.

Attributes

url

Instead of generating a <img> return the url to the generated image.

noxml

Don't self close the generated <img>.

Timeout

The generated image will by default never expire, but in some circumstances it may be pertinent to limit the time the image and its associated data is kept. Its possible to set an (advisory) timeout on the image data using the following attributes.

unix-time="number"

Set the base expiry time to this absolute time.

If left out, the other attributes are relative to current time.

years="number"

Add this number of years to the time this entry is valid.

months="number"

Add this number of months to the time this entry is valid.

weeks="number"

Add this number of weeks to the time this entry is valid.

days="number"

Add this number of days to the time this entry is valid.

hours="number"

Add this number of hours to the time this entry is valid.

beats="number"

Add this number of beats to the time this entry is valid.

minutes="number"

Add this number of minutes to the time this entry is valid.

seconds="number"

Add this number of seconds to the time this entry is valid.

The format to encode the image to. The formats available are:

Acronym	Acronym interpretation
gif	Graphics Interchange Format (might be missing in your roxen)
jpeg	Joint Photography Expert Group image compression
png	Portable Networks Graphics
avs	Advanced Visual Systems Inc. image format
bmp	Windows BitMaP file
gd	Internal format used by libgd
hrz	HRZ is (was?) used for amatuer radio slow-scan TV.
ilbm	Interchangeable File Format: interleaved bitmap
pcx	Zsoft PCX file format (PC / DOS)
pnm	Portable AnyMap
ps	Adobe PostScript file
pvr	Pover VR (dreamcast image)
tga	TrueVision Targa (PC / DOS)
tiff	Tag Image File Format
wbf	WAP Bitmap File
xbm	XWindows Bitmap File
xpm	XWindows Pixmap File

quant="number" (format dependant)

dither="{none, random, floyd-steinberg}" (none)

Choose the dithering method.

Method	Meaning

floyd-steinberg	Error diffusion dithering. Usually the best dithering method.

true-alpha

If present, render a real alpha channel instead of on/off alpha. If the file format only supports on/off alpha, the alpha channel is dithered using a floyd-steinberg dither.

background-color="color" (taken from the page)

The color to render the image against.

opaque-value="percentage" (100)

The transparency value to use, 100 is fully opaque, and 0 is fully transparent.

gamma="number" (1.0)

Perform gamma adjustment.

cs-grey="{0, 1}" (0)

Perform rgb to greyscale colorspace conversion.

cs-invert="{0, 1}" (0)

Invert all colors

cs-hsv-rgb="{0, 1}" (0)

mirror-y="{0, 1}" (0)

Mirror the image around the Y-axis.

scale="fact" (1.0)

Scale fact times. (0.5 -> half size, 2.0 -> double size)

scale="x,y"

Scale to the exact size x,y. If either of X or Y is zero, the image is scaled to the specified width or hight, and the value that is zero is scaled in proportion to the other value.

max-width="xsize"

If width is larger than 'xsize', scale width to 'xsize' while keeping aspect.

max-height="ysize"

If height is larger than 'ysize', scale height to 'ysize' while keeping aspect.

span-width="xsize"

If width is larger than 'xsize', scale width to 'xsize' while keeping aspect. If width is smaller than 'xsize', extend width to 'xsize' by filling the new space with current background color.

span-height="ysize"

Keep n pixels from the beginning of the Y scale.

crop="{x1,y1-x2,y2, auto, guides-cross, guides-region}"

Crops the image by using several differen methods. The simplest is to only specify the area to be cropped with x,y-x,y coordinates. By instead selecting "auto" the image will be cropped so that as many pixels as possible with the same color is removed from around the image.

A more advanced cropping method can be used by giving the crop argument "guides-cross". The image will then be cropped around the intersection of two guides inside the image. Guides can be added to e.g. Photoshop and GIMP images. If several guides are present, which ones to use can be selected with the guides-index=x,y attribute, where x and y is the number of the guides. Guides cross cropping is usefull together with max-width and max-height attributes when creating thumb nails.

A combination of guides cross cropping can be used by giving the crop argument "guides-region". In this cropping mode the area enclosed by two horizontal and two vertical guides are saved. Which guides to use is given by the guides-index=x1,y1-x2,y2 attribute, where the x and y parameters are the number of the guides. Guides can also be specified as guides-index=x,y. Then the saved area will be the one enclosed by the buides x,y and x+1,y+1, counting from left and top. Again, combine max-width and max-height makes a good effect, since scaling is performed after cropping.

jpeg-quality="percentage" (75)

Set the quality on the output jpeg image.

jpeg-optimize="{0, 1}" (1)

If 0, do not generate optimal tables. Somewhat faster, but produces bigger files.

jpeg-progressive=="{0, 1}" (0)

Generate progressive jpeg images.

jpeg-smooth="0-100" (0)

Smooth the image while compressing it. This produces smaller files, but might undo the effects of dithering.

bmp-bpp="1,4,8,24" (24)

Force this number of bits per pixel for bmp images.

bmp-windows="{0, 1}" (1)

Windows or OS/2 mode, default is 1. (windows mode)
