Hi,
I'm using PIL to enhance screenshots for print and online publication. I'm
writing to see if someone else is doing similar work. The shots are dialogs,
menus, etc. -- my workflow to create the print images:
(1) writer takes screenshot on Windows XP box (96dpi)
----------------------
*** Python Image Library ***
(2) convert to RGB
(3) resize to a writer-specified width using nearest neighbor*
(4) enhance with Sharpness enhancer, factor=2
I think these look pretty good, but if you have a different method or good
advice, I'd like to hear from you.
*nearest neighbor used for going up in size, antialias for going down in
size.
thanks,
--Tim Arnold

Tim,
Sounds like an interesting project.
Have you considered using SnagIt to produce your screenshots? www.TechSmith.com/SnagIt

Thanks for the interest on this, but I don't control what the writers
use to get the screenshot. They give me a 8-bit png screenshots
(sometimes 24-bit) captured at 96 dpi. The part I can control comes
after that--I need a workflow for getting the screenshot into print,
looking as good as possible.
thanks,

Sites using thumbnail preview for world wide web file navigation and
searching.
Below are list of sites that are either researching or providing thumbnail
preview images for online web documents. Thumbnail previews are useful for
web site navigation particularly in search engines and directories such as
Google, Altavista and Yahoo. The preview images provide a portion of the
content of the electronic file to aid in navigation.

I would like to create a page with four distinct areas. Similar to
this:
<tr><td colspan="2">My Heading stuff here</td></tr>
<tr><td>My nav stuff here</td><td>My main stuff here</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2">My footer stuff here</td></tr>
In other words, a header and footer which span the entire page.
Between them will be a nav bar and large main area.

Hello,
does anybody have experiences with screenshots of ActiveX controls in .NET?
I have a panel containing some controls, amongst others some ActiveX

the panel with all controls located on it, except the ActiveX controls. This
is not a surprise because MSDN says that "DrawToBitmap method is not
supported for ActiveX controls". Does anybody know a solution for...

Hi:
We are a software company. Our product (Dialogue) is very expansive
with lots of menus, dialog boxes, etc in the GUI. We use unstructured
FM 7.2.
Every time we have a new release, undoubtedly some (or many) of the
software's menus and dialog boxes change due to enhancements. This
requires us to identify these changes (somehow) and re-do any
screenshots in our documentation and training materials.

I'm unclear as to how best to use what I'm terming the top-level CSS
selectors, by which I mean selectors like *, html and body. I'm coming
at this from trying to understand how best to set font sizes but I
seem to have strayed into a broader question.
Some CSS guides seem to suggest that a * declaration is good practice
for any style sheet, primarily I suppose to set zero defaults for
margin and padding for all other relevant selectors...

Hi,
I have a _very_ rough copy of a small image gallery that I am working on
at this address:
http://www.andrews-corner.org/temp/screenshots.html
There is an odd cascading effect that has me completely baffled. The
images are supposed to adjust to the width of the page but they line up
neatly 3, 2, 1 and aligned right.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
