Requirements:

     WB 3+. Uses datatypes.


Description:

     Picsize is a utility program to aid HTML authors. It will examine a
     graphic image and write the <IMG SRC=> tag to the shell or a file. This
     information can be easily inserted into a HTML document.


Usage:

     picsize <picfilename>

     You may redirect the output to a file like this:

     picsize <picfilename> >ram:picdesc


Examples:

     Picsize will examine any file that you have a datatype for. It will
     write out something like this:

     <IMG SRC="banner.gif" WIDTH="332" HEIGHT="179" ALT="" BORDER="0">

     It gets the WIDTH and HEIGHT data and generates a HTML string you can
     paste directly into your document.
     

Tips:

     Place the picsize file somewhere in the path. From the shell, CD to the
     directory that holds the HTML file you are working on. Call picsize
     with the path and filename of the picture you are interested in.

     Paste the resultant output into your document. Check the path and
     filename to see if it is right. If the picture is in a different
     directory than the HTML file, you may have to edit the path. You may
     have to manually insert "../" in front of the path/filename.

     Now edit the BORDER and ALT values to what you want.

     
     Picsize may be launched from SID2 like this:
     
     <path>/picsize >>ram:img

     This allows multiple files to be listed to the temp file.


Arexx:

     While picsize has no Arexx port, it can be called from within your
     editor. The resultant string could be pasted directly into your
     document. You will need to write an Arexx script to do this.
