Dieter,
what
would be the difference between rendering a CGM image twice (as a preview
image and as a full view) and your idea? In MetaWeb, we
offer an option to get rid of the tool- and scrollbars when displaying a
CGM file in a very small window (i.e., preview). In our JAVA solution
eReview we generate small PNGs on-the-fly if a customer requests thumbnail
display. In both approaches links are added from the thumbnail
(CGM or PNG) to the original view. Is it the latter approach you
envision?
Regards
Ulrich

[cgmo-webcgm] One more idea for WebCGM 2.0...
All,
I suggest that we
consider one more addition to WebCGM 2.0, which is the addition of a preview
image in a separate picture.
ATA already allows
for this, and I think it is a good thing to do. Users want to catalog CGM
files in databases, and we are often
asked for
thumbnails or preview images.
The picture could
use a reserved name, e.g. "Preview Image".
Thoughts?
Regards,
Dieter
