Ok groth walk me through this graphing thing
I see the code; how do I make all the transparent gifs though? I am a total graphics retard (MS Paint fuels my review articles). Give me a walkthrough and I'll try to get this done today

What graphics software do you have (other than MS Paint) With photoshop, you could knock this together in 20-30 minutes, assuming you had clear graphs to copy from - the most recent ones are a bit crowded.

I think I have an older version of photoshop that came with my Wacom tablet

Dang, you're fast!
It feels like talking about MSPaintwould be superfluous now. Last edited by Groth; 07-11-2004 at 04:34 PM. |

I can make the pretty pictures given the graphs, but I'm leaving the Javascript to Groth

I'm okay with that, though I plan to hit the hay soon.
BalefireX, when I stacked up your gifs, some of looked displaced by a few pixels. |

Groth is there any way to modify your page so that instead of just a key.gif, there's a checkbox, an image of the line/point color, and then a link to the actual review?
That'd be pretty sweet.

Should be doable. Let me give it a bit thought.
Edit - that didn't take much thought! In keeping with the easy to maintain modular theme, along with curve and key, each block will get two or three line html file, containing a meta redirect to the review page. Last edited by Groth; 07-11-2004 at 05:13 PM. |

From the looks of that spreadsheet, the only ones I'm missing are the LR WW and the #rotor block - here you go:

Work in progress
Thanks guys! To integrate it with the site's layout I am going to have to put the legend under the graph

pH, you have a wacom tablet? which one? do you like it? i've been thinking about getting one, but not sure i'd like one. went in the middle and got a trackball, was too discouraged with the lack of accuracy of today's mices.
sorry, didn't mean to threadjack, just curious what you think.

I have the entry level cheapo tablet. Works well enough; only use it on occasion (not much free time alas).

thanks but my contribution was negligible. Managed to get the legend in a couple of columns below the graph; perhaps I can get this integrated into the site and working properly before bed

You can't use frames to put the legend beside the graph? |

frames? Nah. If I had left it as it originally waa (legend to left of graph) then it wouldn't fit on the Procooling design. Now it's good to go; if my wife gets off the PC I'll give the proper formatting a go.

would this background image make it easier? The key would show for all the blocks no matter which ones you selected (far too many possible combinations to do an individualized legend for each one) Alternatively, have attached the legend as a GIF with clear background, so it could be set up to appear once you have submitted your choices.

Very nice BalefireX; The maze4 type in the other one gives me a headache, lol
Great idea, much handier for comparasions. How much more complicated would it be to do it later on with specific pumps etc, when pHaestus gets pressure info? I take it because blocks have been sent back to their owners, that you can't do this for every block... |
