Screenshots on web page



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
