www Wide World Web Server Icons This README is copied with the icons images to three possible places Original Source for Icons in the Library... http://www.ict.griffith.edu.au/anthony/icons/www/ This directory is a SOURCE directory of the World Wide Web icons and as such is in the libraries own format X Bitmaps and X Pixmaps. CONTINUED BELOW The WWW set is designed as a basic set for new web sites, it is a basic set to provide a starting point and a consistant set for developing sites. It does not contain every icon in existance, nor does it contain banners or backgrounds which are very site dependant, being the things which make individual site unique (icon wise). ICT Server on www.ict.griffith.edu.au... All the icons in the above library WWW area have been converted to GIF format, via an automated installation script (not published). Transparency on X pixmaps and white on X bitmaps have been converted to a transparent grey color in the resulting GIF file. (See below). WARNING: This installation script can remove old obsolete images if requested. Only the GIF files in this directory which are never removed or replaced are those which START WITH A CAPITAL LETTER. These are classed as local additions to this server, make your own additions the same way. A Copy of these icons on a Remote Server... That says it all. This README is therefore obsolete, and it is up to the Webmaster or owner of these directories to do whatever is required. "Images.html" files in each of the subdirectories provide image examples, indexing, and the README introduction. I would however recommend that a new copy of these icons be downloaded from http://www.ict.griffith.edu.au/images/Images.html every couple of months or so. The "Images.html" file is WWW frame compliant (read NetScape) and is generated from the source "Images.m4" file, along with "Images_Index.html" and "Images_Top.html", etc. For more information see the top comments of the "Images.m4" file on how this generation is done. The "Images_Ext.html" file is to display to External users who are not allowed to use the Example Image Pages Provided. The file "LocalOnly.htaccess" file is a example .htaccess file which will redirect non-local users to the "Ext" file instead of the Example pages. --------------------------------------------------- AIcons Library README... AIcons directory "www" This directory is a SOURCE directory of the World Wide Web icons and as such is in the libraries own format of X Bitmaps and X Pixmaps. However the Web prefers its images in the GIF format and as such when installing the icons you convert them to this format with appropriate transparency arrangements. See below. The .html files in this directory are designed for use in the /images directory of a Http Web Server as "Image Examples". See our own "Server Information" document on http://www.ict.griffith.edu.au/http/ The top level of the "Images*.html" files are also generated from the file "Images.cpp" (See the comments in this file). The links in this files are full paths so that client programs looking at these files can find the GIF images in the current servers /images area regardless of if reading from the actual library directory and to keep web spiders happy. (A Kludge) Some X Pixmap files are also using the "Transparent" or "None" color available in this format. To properly convert these icons into GIF files with the correct transparency setting for most WWW clients, you are recommended to use the "xbm2gif" script which can be found in the "support/scripts" section of this library. This script is not stand alone and relies on one other script ("x2p.sed") and the PbmPlus filter library (see main library README) to be present on your shell's PATH. This script ("xbm2gif") has a -t option to handle these special Pixmaps. The script first converts the X Pixmap `Transparent' color and the `white' color of X bitmaps into a Grey shade, and then set this as the GIF's transparent color in the final conversion phase. The resulting GIF will then to be usable by the maximum number of clients including those which do not understand the GIF transparency extension. Example Conversion Convert bitmaps into Gifs (white becoming transparent) xbm2gif -t [a-z]*.xbm Convert pixmaps into Gifs (with appropriate transparency) xbm2gif -t [a-z]*.xpm The "xbm2gif" script above checks if transparency is actually required before applying converting them correctly and appropriately into GIF. This is necessary due to the way older versions of some clients, such as mosaic, mishandle the colors close to but not exactly the transparent color if present. ------ Specific Contribs Greg Bossert http://www-ns.rutgers.edu/doc-images/ The original 40x40 and 20x20 button icons in the "appl/www" area. About half of these in this section are his icons including the arrows, homes, gopher, images, etc. and also the basic style and philosophy of these images. I and other users on the WWW have added many many more to this set by editing various "desc/cl-32" icons into the appropriate button style. NOTE: all these icons have been converted to the libraries standard color table. R Kramarik The idea of using the crossfire thin walls as "Box/" parts.
