Hi,
The screenshot page at http://maxima.sourceforge.net/screenshots.shtml
renders rather poorly on most browsers. The issue is that each
full-sized screenshot is loaded and then reduced to fit into a smaller
frame. Most browsers don't bother with any kind of interpolation when
scaling, so the result is pretty ugly.
I would propose making thumbnail images for each screenshot, and
displaying them instead, at full size. The thumbnail creation can be
done easily with bash and ImageMagik, which applies bilinear filtering
(I think it's bilinear) automatically:
# cd screenshots
# mkdir thumbs
# for i in `ls *.png`; do convert $i -resize 280x280 thumbs/$i; done
I have already created these thumbnails and they look much better, but I
dare not post binaries to the mailing list. Please let me know if you
want them. I also have an updated screenshots.shtml.
best wishes,
Greg
