Can anyone point me to a coookbook recipe (or at least some detailed
"Collage" of images -- more pychological randomness
Lately I have posted an occasional coding challenge
and gotten responses.
This time, I thought I'd at least post my own
solution.
I'm sure someone can improve on the algorithm or
coding style or both.
Problem: Given a set of N (square) images, use a
subset of these to create a "collage" of pictures
in HTML.
Let the grid size be 8x8, but let it be reasonably
configurable.
Let image sizes be 4x4, 3x3, 2x2, and 1x1. (I assumed
64 pixels = 1 unit; and yes, I hardcoded it, and yes,
that's bad form). Let there be at least one 4x4; at
least two 3x3 if they'll fit; at least 5 2x2 if they'll
fit; and the rest 1x1.
Constraint: The edges of the pictures should
touch if possible! This depends on how well your
browser renders.
My solution prints out an ASCII version of the grid
and then outputs HTML.
A lot of the weirdness in the HTML is so that the
results will be "pretty"; and there are some specific
workarounds for IE bugs (where Konqueror rendered it
perfectly).
Comments welcome.
Cheers,
Hal
