Image-generation with Teamsite

panomaat

Hello,

i am looking for a comfortable way to generate gif-images in teamsite. As we need some headlines to have a special design we have to create them as images. The idea is that the headlinetext is saved in the dcr and the image is generated during the teamsite generation process.

Are there any suggestions/expriences about an image generating software that can interact with teamsite?

Thanx a lot,
Pano

Well,

if you want to call some external tools during the generation (e.g. in your tpl file) the thing to look for might by ImageMagick. This is an open-source image generator & manipulator. But you could google for 'image generator' to find any other tools.

However, I think this is not the modern html approach for this. It's way, way better, from a valid html perspective, to use "flash replacement". The tool to do this is called 'sifr' (http://www.mikeindustries.com/sifr/)

What this really does is that in your html you place a header-element. The sifr-javascript will replace this with a flash-movie with the wanted style.

Hope this helps, Ronald
