Wxtoimg
« on: December 12, 2006, 12:59:11 PM »
I would like to put a thumbnail of the last received satellite image on my home page. Does anyone know of a way to generate a fixed name thumbnail of the last received satellite image without upsetting the standard file generation? I can do it externally to wxtoimg but I really don't want to go that route if I don't have to.

Tom, you didn't say how you wanted the image to be resized, or if it's from your website or another.  If you have PHP available, you could try using my resize-NOAA-IOD.php script (resizes the NOAA Image of the Day) and modify it to your needs..

It also does image cacheing :-)

Wxtoimg already builds the images I need. I just can't figure out how to natively generate a set of images with fixed names for the home page and still generate the satellite/date stamped images needed to build the main satellite page. It probably isn't possible but I thought I would ask before I started programming.

There doesn't appear to be a built-in way in wxtoimg to do this so I wrote a program that makes copies of the originals and renames the copies to the fixed name versions needed for my home page.
