If you change and confirm a setting below, only the value displayed above is initially changed. Possible or suggested values are displayed in green. If you click on a value displayed in green, it is transferred to the associated input field. If the input field is further down, the changed setting will only be adopted above if you confirm it below. The change is only saved when you confirm the changed value above.
set
Settings for the display are saved under the key set
. The settings are not transferred to the server. The value is a list of entries separated by the character :
. Each entry has the form subkey=value
. The possible subkey
names and the associated values with explanations are given in the following list.
The settings are based on the simple desktop display of a picture story. Other views only observe these settings to a limited extent or not at all, if they make sense at all. And the desktop view only accepts certain values for the display time during automatic scrolling (“slide show”).
The desktop view and soon new or revised views may only read the settings once when a picture story is displayed again. You cannot change an open view here. You can change settings in a view. The changes are saved immediately or when the view is closed. So that changes don't get in each other's way, it is best to only make changes in the view concerned.
i
The value is a partial path under which image files are loaded. Different partial paths lead to images in different resolutions. The possible values are currently images/
(width and height up to 804px), smallimg/
(648px) and thumbs/
(96px).
f
The value determines the color of the frame around an image. The possible values are transparent
, grey
and black
.
d
Duration of the display of an image in a slide show in milliseconds.
q
The value determines the order of the images in a slide show.
1
: Forward2
: backwards3
: The following picture is chosen pseudo-randomly.4
: The images are shuffled pseudo-randomly before each complete run.v
The value determines how an image is displayed in the available field. The ratio of width to height is always maintained. The relevant units are image pixels for the natural size of the image and CSS pixels for the size of the available field. For large, high-resolution screens, one CSS pixel can correspond to two screen pixels.
normal
An image is displayed in its natural size: one image pixel corresponds to one CSS pixel.
hshrink
If an image is taller than the available field, it will be scaled down so that the height of the image fully fills the available height.
hstretch
If the available field is higher than the image, the image is enlarged so that the height of the image fully fills the available height.
hfit
The image fills the height of the available field.
wshrink
If the image is wider than the available field, the image will be scaled down so that the image fills the entire available width.
wstretch
If the image is narrower than the available image, the image is enlarged so that the image fills the entire available width.
wfit
The image fills the width of the available field.
shrink
If the image is wider or taller than the available field, the image will be scaled down to fit all of the available field and fill the available width or height in full.
stretch
If the available field is wider and taller than the image, the image is enlarged until the height or width is completely filled.
fit
The image is presented so that it fits completely into the available field and is filled in to the full available width or height.
b
The value 1
means that the image field in the slide show fills the entire browser window. The page header and possible other fields are hidden. The value 0
means the normal display. The setting is only effective in the pin board view.
s
This setting determines what action will result in a particular section being displayed. The possible values are:
mouseover
: Pointing to the reference is sufficientclick
: Click on the linkdblclick
: Double click on the linkt
The setting determines which action on a preview image results in the image being displayed normally. The possible values are
mouseover
: Pointing to the preview image is sufficientclick
: Click on the preview imagedblclick
: Double-click on the preview imagel
This setting determines how you follow a reference in the text of a picture story.
click
: Click on the linkdblclick
: Double click on the linkg
Setting for automatic scrolling when displaying a picture story. Possible values:
0
: Only the images of the current section are scrolled.1
: The scrolling runs through all the pictures in the picture storyo
If the server confirms a “Like”, a sound signal can be played. This setting determines the sound signal: danke
, xie
or ping
.
e
If the server reports an error in response to a “Like”, a sound signal can be played. This setting determines the sound signal, for example a disappointed oo
.
m
Attitude to the pseudo-random arrangement of the "pinboard notes" (hereinafter referred to as images) in the pinboard view. If the following explanations are too long for you, I recommend the default setting q
, if you are looking for order in chaos, I recommend the m00
setting, and if you like clear order, I recommend m22
.
The value is g
, r
, q
, or a sequence of three characters.
g
: Each pin board note is distributed equally on the pin board independently of the other pin board notes.r
: The settings described by the 3-character code are changed pseudo-randomly each time the bulletin boards are distributed.q
: The settings are changed pseudo-randomly each time the bulletin boards are distributed. The same rules apply in the horizontal and vertical directions.With three characters, the first character is one of the four letters h
, v
, c
or m
, the following two characters are numbers 0
to 3
.
The images are positioned one after the other. The positioning of an image depends on the position of the previous images. The entire available area is divided into rectangular fields so that every point of a field is covered by an equal number of images. A field is therefore completely or not at all contained in a picture, there is no partial overlap. If another image is to be positioned, a field (“positioning field”) is selected pseudo-randomly to which the image is aligned. The picture breaks down the fields that it partially covers into smaller fields.
The first letter defines how a field is broken down:
h
: The field is first trimmed left and right, then top and bottom.v
: The field is first cropped above and below, then left and right.c
: The field is trimmed all around first on the left, then above, then right, then below.m
: The largest protruding area is always cut off.The following number defines how the image is aligned horizontally at the positioning field. The second digit determines how the image is oriented vertically. I describe the horizontal alignment below. The same applies to the vertical alignment if the terms “left” and “right” are replaced by “above” and “below”.
The horizontal position of the image is determined by the distance between the left side and the left edge of the available area. The range of values is from 0 (left end) to the width of the available area minus the width of the image (right end). The “locking points” also play a role for the various types of positioning. The one snap point is where the right sides of the positioning field and the image coincide or at the left end if the distance between the right side of the positioning field and the left end is smaller than the width of the image. The other snap point is accordingly where the left sides of the positioning field and the image coincide or at the right end if the distance of the left silk of the positioning field from the right end is smaller than the width of the image. The position of the image is a pseudo-random variable.
0
: The random variable is absolutely continuously distributed. The density at each point is the length of the intersection of the image and the positioning field.1
: The random variable corresponding to the number 0
is limited to the area between the locking points.2
: Discrete Distribution. The two locking points are weighted equally.3
: Even distribution in the interval between the locking points.w
The value influences the positioning of the images in the pin board view. The value is a positive number and should be significantly greater than 1, for example 512
.
The weighting with which a field of the decomposition of the available area is selected depends (also) on this value. The “basic dimension” of the field is divided by this value w
for each image that covers the field.
The basic dimension is absolutely constant with a density that can be illustrated in this way: a pen is attached to a point and the image to be repositioned is drawn horizontally over the entire width and vertically over the entire height of the available area. The density at this point is the product of the lengths of the lines drawn by the pen. The length of the horizontal line is the minimum of the distance of the point from the left side of the available area, the distance of the point from the right side of the available area, the width of the image and the difference in the width of the available area and the image.
name
It makes a difference whether a visitor to my website sends a “Like” ten times or whether ten visitors each send a “Like”. So that I can differentiate this in the evaluation of the "Like", I ask you to enter a name. You can put in any imaginary name that no one else can guess (maybe two months later, neither is you), or the current time. I recommend that you provide your email address. You can remember the email address if the name is deleted in the browser. The name entered will be sent to the server together with a "Like". It is not saved there directly, but the MD5 digest of the name. The name (or the email address) cannot be deduced from the MD5 digest. However, different names lead to different MD5 digest values with a very high probability. A name that starts with “anonym
” (is that a name?) Will not be sent to the server, but you will not receive any further reference to this section unless you delete the data stored in the browser.
Of course I would like to thank you for every like, but I don't want to be pushy. You can hear my thanks. You can also hear my disappointment when a like doesn't get through for some reason.
