appl/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...
   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

CIT Server on www.cit.gu.edu.au...
   All the icons in the above library WWW area have been converted to
   GIF format, via an automated installation script.  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 script can remove old obsolete images. The only GIF files
   in this directory never removed or replaced are those which START WITH
   A CAPITAL LETTER. This 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.  I would however recommend that a new copy of these icons be
   downloaded from  http://www.cit.gu.edu.au/images/Images.html every
   couple of months or so.

          ---------------------------------------------------
AIcons Library README...

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.

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 arangments. 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.cit.gu.edu.au/http/

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)

A gzip'ed tar file of all these icons is available from
    http://www.cit.gu.edu.au/images/Images.tar.gz

WARNING: While most of the icons in this directory follow the standard
color table of the library, not all of them do. The `granite' icons for
instance would not convert well to the standard color table. You have
been warned.

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

NOTE: DO NOT convert Pixmaps to GIF with transparency if the original X
Pixmap does not have transparency (for example on Button images).
Otherwise some other shades of grey my also become transparent on some web
browsers when they shouldn't. Mosaic is one example of this.

The "xbm2gif" script above checks if transparency is actually required before
appling converting them correctly and appropriately into GIF.

See ``docs/contribs'' for a list of sites where many of these www icons
were retrieved from.

Specific Big Contribs
  Greg Bossert <bossert@maurolycus.rutgers.edu>
      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 <rkramari@lithium.helios.nd.edu>
    The idea of using the crossfire thin walls as ``Box/'' parts.

  Anthony Hall  <ahall@csu.edu.au>
    For the first seven roman numerals. Anyone else like to increase
    this to say  XII ?

  Sachiko Oba <sachi@interport.net>
    The small colored squares and miscelanous furniture.
      http://www.interport.net/~sachi/

  The World Wide Web as a Whole
    A complete list of all the sites icons have been collected from
    Usally only one or two per site. can be found toward the end of
    the ``docs/contribs'' document.    Thanks to everyone concerned.

    In particular 
      http://helix.rice.edu/Icons/ for the start of the Latex2Html buttons

------

The following sets of arrows should be used together, don't mix 'n' match

    double arrows:      next.xbm   prev.xbm  back.xbm  cross-ref.xbm top.xbm
    plain arrows:       up.xbm   left.xbm   right.xbm
    plain2 arrows:      up2.xbm  left2.xbm  right2.xbm
    shadow arrows:      shadow_{left,right}.xbm
    shadow lg arrows:   shadow_lg_{left,right}.xbm
    granite arrows:     granite_{up,left,right,top}.xpm
    color arrows:       color_{up,left,right}.xpm
    buttons:            button_{up,left,right,back,next,prev,top,more}.xpm  

Note that    `up'    goes with   `left' and `right'
while       `back'   goes with   `next' and `prev'.

I myself prefer the double arrows which were distributed with NCSA httpd.
The std_* icons for title bar logos. And the button_* icons for links
to other locations. This is my preferance, you do not need to follow this.
