Animated GIF Slide Component Replacing Tutorial

We’re getting into componentry today, “spare parts” if you will, behind the creation of Animated GIF images, used in yesterday’s Animated GIF Slide Component Knowledge Tutorial‘s PHP web application.

We left you yesterday, during its “phase two” animated GIF creation phase …

  • a resultant animated GIF HTML img element … now responding to the …
  • oncontextmenu event (ie. like a right click) … whereby the …
  • relevant applicable “still” was displayed in a new popup window … and today we flesh out the contents of that skeletal popup window webpage design of yesterday …
  • adding some HTML buttons …
    1. +90 degree rotation
    2. +270 degree rotation
    3. Remake Animated GIF

    … along with accompanying popup window webpage Javascript …

… to make all this new second phase animated GIF editing possible in today’s changed PHP tutorial_to_animated_gif.php inhouse animated GIF creator web application.

You can be pretty sure this first foray will need more nuance into the coming daysweeks (off the Animated GIF theme tomorrow, it being “International Holiday for the Animated GIF Weary … Day”)! We hope you stay with it!

Animated GIF Slide Component Knowledge Tutorial

Yesterday’s Animated GIF SVG Quiz Automation Interaction Tutorial‘s …

  • animated GIF, using its duration, for effect, adding user interaction onmouseover logic for our SVG Quiz scenarios … led us to, today …
  • the more obvious generic step to add oncontextmenu (ie. right click) logic to extract the slide image of the animated GIF showing at the time of the right click

Now, our solution to getting this thing to happen, is to …

  • not extend out … but rather to …
  • extend up

… with how the phase one collection of slide image data meets the phase two creation of animated GIF form navigation logic. Up to today, its default modus operandi was that this HTML form had a …


target='_self'

… attribute implied in its make up, and this, to us, is like “extending out” where your phase one “web application” has effectively …

left the building

… so that the phase two “web application” can take up residency.

But the fact is, the target attribute can also point to _blank (new tab) or _top or “the name of an HTML iframe element”. We use that last idea, along with …

Initial new static HTML …
<?php echo ”

<iframe id=nolongerselfi name=nolongerselfi style=display:none; onload=getwhatwas(this);></iframe>

“; ?>
During the HTML form onsubmit event (function predothem) logic, decide …
<?php echo ”

var dodt=true;

function predothem() {
if (dodt) {
document.getElementById('myform').target=nolongerself('_self');
} else {
document.getElementById('ztitled').innerHTML+='<input name=\"nodt\" id=\"nodt\" value=\"y\" type=hidden></input>';
}
dothem();
}

function nolongerself(wasself) {
document.getElementById('nolongerselfi').style.position='absolute';
document.getElementById('nolongerselfi').style.top='0px';
document.getElementById('nolongerselfi').style.left='0px';
document.getElementById('nolongerselfi').style.width='100%';
document.getElementById('nolongerselfi').style.height='300%';
document.getElementById('nolongerselfi').style.zIndex='1234';
document.getElementById('nolongerselfi').style.display='block';
//document.getElementById('nolongerselfi').src='./tutorial_to_animated_gif.php';
return 'nolongerselfi';
}

“; ?>

… and if that variable dodt remains true (by you, the user, not clicking the “Delay(s)” span element), then the HTML form navigation result effectively slaps itself above (via that large CSS z-index property defined) and, though you (as the HTML form, of course … get with the plan!) do not see what’s below, does not mean that that image data in that “lower floor” is not available (because, surely, parents are allowed to live in the same building … just out of sight, but useful?!)

<?php echo ”

var lastcurslide=-1, curslide=1;

function smaybeact(oimg) {
if (lastcurslide != curslide) {
lastcurslide=curslide;
var woois=window.open('', '_blank', 'top=100,left=100,height=800,width=800');
woois.document.write('<html><head><title>Animated GIF ' + agurl + ' Slide ' + lastcurslide + '/' + totalsno + '</title></head><body><img title=\"' + 'Animated GIF ' + agurl + ' Slide ' + lastcurslide + '/' + totalsno + '\" src=\"' + parent.document.getElementById(('slideshow' + lastcurslide).replace(/^slideshow1$/g, 'slideshow')).value + '\"></img></body></html>');
woois.name='Animated GIF ' + agurl + ' Slide ' + lastcurslide + '/' + totalsno;
}
}

“; ?>

… as that animated GIF’s oncontextmenu new function, existant or not, via the new phase two applicable PHP …

<?php

$ntvals="-1";
$oncdt=' oncontextmenu=smaybeact(this); ';
if (isset($_GET['nodt'])) { $oncdt=''; }
if (isset($_POST['nodt'])) { $oncdt=''; }
if (isset($_GET['ntvals'])) { $ntvals=(str_replace("+"," ",urldecode($_GET['ntvals']))); }
if (isset($_POST['ntvals'])) { $ntvals=(str_replace("+"," ",urldecode($_POST['ntvals']))); }

?>

You can, again, see this in today’s changed PHP tutorial_to_animated_gif.php inhouse animated GIF creator web application.

Animated GIF SVG Quiz Automation Interaction Tutorial

Today, we wanted to combine yesterday’s …

… the reason this being interesting, is that if we send to the “second phase” PHP web application pass which creates the animated GIF …

  1. the number of slides …
    <?php

    $tvalsn="-1";
    $ttitled="";
    if (isset($_GET['tvalsn'])) { $tvalsn=(str_replace("+"," ",urldecode($_GET['tvalsn']))); $ttitled=''; }
    if (isset($_POST['tvalsn'])) { $tvalsn=(str_replace("+"," ",urldecode($_POST['tvalsn']))); $ttitled=''; }

    ?>
  2. an indication of whether there are 2 slides or 3 slides per original SVG+xml based image …
  3. a comma separated list of answers …

    $tvalsa="";
    $atitled="";
    $detsum="";
    $sumdet="";
    if (isset($_GET['tvalsa'])) { $detsum="<details><summary>Show ...</summary>"; $sumdet="</details>"; $tvalsa=(str_replace("+"," ",urldecode($_GET['tvalsa']))); $atitled='<input type=hidden id=tvalsa name=tvalsa value="' . $tvalsa . '"></input>'; }
    if (isset($_POST['tvalsa'])) { $detsum="<details><summary>Show ...</summary>"; $sumdet="</details>"; $tvalsa=(str_replace("+"," ",urldecode($_POST['tvalsa']))); $atitled='<input type=hidden id=tvalsa name=tvalsa value="' . $tvalsa . '"></input>'; }

    ?>

… we can use that “animated GIF duration” calculation to know, at any one point, which slide is showing, effectively giving “faux intelligence” enough to our operation, to the extent that we could, then, optionally, interactively ask for user entered answers to the SVG Quiz Questions asked (and keep track of a score for those “quiz interactives” out there).

And did you know, at least for non-mobile platforms, you can set the focus (on non-mobile platforms only, as there are the “keyboard getting in the way” issues we’re thankful for with mobile platforms which preclude any thoughts of a programmed [element].focus() operation) to one of these “contenteditable=true style elements”?

For the first time ever, we use …

  • image transparency … in terms of the image being an Animated GIF slide … via …
  • SVG … or …
  • canvas

… deserves our consideration, we’ve decided, today … because …

We’ll just try our best here, but we have discovered a nuance that hadn’t tweaked with us before, considering “transparency” and using “canvas” elements. The …

  • [canvasElementContext].fillStyle='white';
    [canvasElementContext].fillRect(0, 0, [canvasWidth], [canvasHeight]); // this example idea causes the canvas to become white

It’s affected two “avenues of effect” (or is this a book?!) with our Animated GIF Creator logic …

  1. if a SVG+xml element data URI utf8 format representation mentions the word “transparent” we are now going to make the relevant helper canvas element background be transparent …

    imgc.src = rurl;
    }

    … and …
  2. the “+” means by which we involve our Scribble and Annotation helper (of animated GIF slide content) now has a new button (with its onclick event function) to ask about its main canvas element background colour …

    function colourize() {
    var huhcol=prompt('Enter canvas background colour or Cancel to ignore.', 'transparent');

    if (huhcol.trim() != '') {
    if (huhcol == 'transparent') {
    //alert(987);
    //alert('topielem.width=' + topielem.width);
    parent.document.getElementById('topcanvas').getContext('2d').fillStyle = huhcol;

    parent.document.getElementById('topcanvas').getContext('2d').clearRect(0,0,parent.document.getElementById('topcanvas').width,parent.document.getElementById('topcanvas').height);
    } else {

Non Windows Windows
convert infile.svg outfile.png magick.exe infile.svg outfile.png

… and we’re using that talent ImageMagick has to offer the user the chance, at any animated GIF slide textbox, the chance to enter encodeURIComponent and window.btoa sensitive entries whose (content) format could match (one of) …

Animated GIF Slide QR Code and Webpage Screenshot URL Tutorial

We wanted, today, to channel the (cruel might say “warped”) thinking behind the recent URL …

  1. interactive entry of absolute URL starting with HtTp means you want a QR Code … and …
  2. interactive entry of absolute URL starting with hTtP means you want (to involve, along the line, creating an animated QR Code scenario) a Webpage Screenshot

… we last talked about at Circular Text Around Media Animated QR Code Tutorial, because we feel this is actually a good inhouse idea to hang on to as a principle. Why?! Glad you asked. It is another way to …

It might be you design an animated GIF chapter of slides and always want to follow it up with a “further reading” webpage you could present as a QR Code or Webpage Screenshot.

Anyway, at the “onblur” event Javascript function logic we intervened to end up with an image/png data URI substitute for the HtTp or hTtP URL the user enters to re-enter the normal animated GIF image definition workflow of the animated GIF creator …
