Dropdown Image Idea Map Genericization Tutorial

Dropdown Image Dimensions Idea Tutorial

Thumbnail images are all well and good, but for web applications, such as our quiz one, that might benefit from scrutiny of images, in the recent Dropdown Image Idea Map Genericization Tutorial, it would be good to offer the user some control over the size of the images in their biology themed Quiz.

We want to funnel this ask through a Javascript window.prompt scenario, given it is optional functionality, and we think it is over the top to dedicate one or two textboxes to the asking of …

  • image display width … and …
  • image display height

… dimensions. And then, as far as the arrangements go to make use of these collected user settings go, we just start using GET URL arguments for width= and height= respectively …

<?php


$three="3"; // number of image map columns

$six="6"; // number of image map rows

$restl="calc(50% - 600px)";

$onehundred="100";

$seventy="70";

if (isset($_GET['width'])) {

$onehundred=str_replace('+','_',urldecode($_GET['width']));

$restl="" . (20 + $onehundred) . "px";

} else if (isset($_POST['width'])) {

$onehundred=str_replace('+','_',urldecode($_POST['width']));

$restl="" . (20 + $onehundred) . "px";

}


?>

… in the pure PHP initializations. Then up the top of the PHP written Javascript we now have …



<script type=text/javascript>

var tw=<?php echo ($onehundred * $three); ?>, lw=<?php echo $onehundred; ?>;

var th=<?php echo ($seventy * $six); ?>, lh=<?php echo $seventy; ?>;

//

… and then establishing the size of the HTML canvas element …



<canvas id=mycanvas width=<?php echo $onehundred; ?> height=<?php echo $seventy; ?> style=display:none;></canvas>

… and referenced a lot in the document.body onload event “postoverlay” Javascript function below …

Dropdown Image Idea Map Genericization Tutorial

There is a certain level of genericization we can apply to yesterday’s Dropdown Image Idea Primer Tutorial‘s Bird Quiz “proof of concept” start, to begin to extend its functionality, today.

We say “certain level” because Wikipedia content is written by a myriad of expert Wiki Page Writers out there, thanks one and all. There are not hard and fast rules about how that content is formed, any more than the content here, in this WordPress blog, is presented, and appears as a webpage before your very (yes, very) eyes! But, there can be patterns, and in this biology field of content, we’ve noticed, our biology images can often be presented in the form …

  • HTML image map element contains the answer data we need for our current (biology) quiz project … and …
  • HTML img element accompanying that image map element can contain the base graphics we need

… to derive data URI image thumbnails via an inhouse canvas element’s talents regarding …

}

… slicing and dicing of imagery. If you’dhave looked yesterday at this Javascript function you’d have seen much less PHP interventional code, and this increased “intervention” forms the basis for our “genericization drive” today, where we identify tasks that PHP can help with in that initial phase …

Dropdown Image Idea Primer Tutorial

We’ve long mused about the idea that an HTML select (ie. dropdown) element can have images as a background. Well, we’re here to tell you that a dropdown element on its own is not capable of this, it being an element associated with operating system functionality. But we can …

… and the recent Ffmpeg and Pandoc and ImageMagick and Pdfimages Dropdown Linear Gradient Tutorial got us interested in …

  • dropdown background transparency … combined with …
  • underlaid, precisely, div z-index smaller

… and what’s to stop us setting a multiple background image arrangement for the div element above? Anyone? Anyone? Yes, Aristotle, it is clearly self-evident that an earthquake might stop us, yes, or an anti-clockwise hurricane, perhaps, yes … but you do realize our class is taking place in the Blue Mountains, near Sydney, Australia?!

Anyway, we decided to turn this idea, similar to one we explored a lot with the Just Javascript Card Game iPhone Debugging Tutorial thread of blog postings of reasonably recent times, into a Bird Quiz, the imagery inspiration thanks to … Aristotle? Aristotle? … clearly and self evidently, Wikipedia, thanks.

The Wikipedia imagery being an image map you might be interested to see the setting up of all this …
