The automation measures in yesterday’s Animated GIF Creation Transparency Tutorial get an “arguments consideration” (maybe a five minute one, or perhaps ten minutes for “the outraged”) to help out ideas for our aspirational readers and users out there, who we are always keen to motivate, this Animated GIF Creator project potentially linked to user productivity, at its best.
If we want to improve automation ideas for these Animated GIF creations we need to use (initially ? and & “get”) arguments up at the web browser address bar for our exploratory user to not only allow for definition of …
their hTTp style animated GIF slide content basis (in a “get” irefresh labelled optional argument) … but as of today, how about …
new “get” dimensions labelled optional argument defines the output Animated GIF dimensions in terms of width,height … eg. 300,600
new “get” title labelled optional argument defines the wording of the watermark style Animated GIF title (basis) … eg. My+Animated+GIF
new “get” titlecolour labelled optional argument defines the colour of the watermark style Animated GIF title … eg. olive
new “get” titlemode labelled optional argument defines the watermark style Animated GIF title mode … eg. All
… and please do not forget an optional argument we’re always havingthat’s always been there …
the “get” delay labelled optional argument defining the delay between animated GIF slides … eg. 800
? That would complete some pictures out there, we’re hoping?!
Does this feel like a step sideways to you, “the regular reader”? We’d agree, and are a little surprised a revisit (to this project) shows this need, but there you are. Sometimes, revisits help clarify!
… deserves our consideration, we’ve decided, today … because …
Transparency begins at home.
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 …

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

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 …

Huh?! Yes, for the public domain usage we were making use of the brilliant GooglePagespeed Insights functionality, thanks, (but) which does not work for localhost URLs, pretty understandably!
We had time to mull over this, and extending yesterday’s Animated GIF Creation Slide Annotating Tutorial‘s use of the Scribble and Annotating Inhouse Helper, which uses an HTML canvas element as its graphics modus operandi, we thought we might be onto a grinner (if you’ll pardon the poor attempt at Clayton‘s Cockney slang). We could get the ball rolling similarly to yesterday, with …
… “using ` being able to change as per user requirement” ideas. Then, at the other end one intervention wrapper can have us creating canvas text which is mapped back to an Animated GIF slide data URI content textbox back at the Animated GIF Creator web application …

Animated GIF Creation Slide Specific Effects Tutorial
With our animated GIF creator, last referenced with Ffmpeg Shelling Peas Tutorial, we wanted to nuance the way the ImageMagick and GD effects could operate …
they being only applicable to the entire animated GIF output image … before today’s work which makes it so that …
optionally they can be turned on or off for individual animated GIF slides
… thereby allowing more flexibility for the user, we’re hoping.
Please note double click toggles the negation of any GD rotations etcetera for this slide only and will become pale yellow here when in negated status, and that a 4x click on first selection reverses logic to be only 2x click selections from then on for a pale orange slide textbox background.

To supplement # delimited comments below you can append to the title # delimited (left,top) or FontColour or Font_name or FontSize_px or AngleDegrees[.Opacity] configurations allowed here … HtTp for QR Code, hTtP for Webpage screenshot, hTTp[+ for other image types too and/or ( ++ for a links to QR Code or ++++ for a links to Webpage Screenshot ) and/or ++++++++ for text SVG based slides ] for SVG HTML or just enter text into slide textboxes to create SVG text based slides (where, in slides below, ` delimitation separates optional SVG text from (all uppercase to keep) font colour [black] and background colour [white] and font family [Verdana] and font size [36] px)
We thank this excellent link for ImageMagick advice regarding background colour ideas when converting SVG to PNG images.
Animated GIF Creation Slide Specific Effects Tutorial
With our animated GIF creator, last referenced with Ffmpeg Shelling Peas Tutorial, we wanted to nuance the way the ImageMagick and GD effects could operate …
they being only applicable to the entire animated GIF output image … before today’s work which makes it so that …
optionally they can be turned on or off for individual animated GIF slides
… thereby allowing more flexibility for the user, we’re hoping.
Please note double click toggles the negation of any GD rotations etcetera for this slide only and will become pale yellow here when in negated status, and that a 4x click on first selection reverses logic to be only 2x click selections from then on for a pale orange slide textbox background.
Well, our wish to “shell peas” setting up more ffmpeg media options based on the excellent FFmpeg cheat sheet, thanks, today, had its ups and downs for speed of progress, but, yes, to have a solid “framework” to work within, that you are happy with, barring those tweaks you inevitably discover in projects as they gain complexity, is the best first endeavour you might need to do, to feel more relaxed about the parts of the project requiring that third party expertise, which it is your job to test that you have successfully merged into the project.

Ffmpeg and Pandoc and ImageMagick and Pdfimages Dropdown Onhover Marquee Tutorial
The non-mobile platforms have that useful wooooorrrrllllddd, the “onhover wooooorrrrllllddd” (to be precise) that can be a great partner for Javascript Ajax methodologies. This onhover (actually the “onmouseover”) event is also useful whereby as a user hovers over an HTML element, and that element’s title attribute has a value, then the user can see that value displayed.
… regarding the dropdown option innerText “look”, there is, for non-mobile, this “onhover wooooorrrrllllddd” we can use to try a form of marquee “look” there, as per …

The lesson is that HTML table element designs do not have to be the go, to display tabular datasets. And there is the responsive design consideration where HTML table element arrangements sometimes fall down. As you might expect, there are a myriad of CSS properties that come into play, and perhaps it is best for us to let you explore some possibilities playing around with today’s “proof of concept” grid_bb_nine.htmlPlaying Around with Grids web application also available, below …
Today’s “catch up” with CSS3 styling of web applications, adding onto yesterday’s CSS3 Border Image Primer Tutorial, involves Multi Columns (thanks, TutorialsPoint) styling that does not require any work with the HTML table element. Typically, what we are talking about here, is styling as you would find in a newspaper or magazine, set out in columns.
To do the research on this we took and added Javascript DOM thoughts to the code at the Tutorial Points webpage above to end up with (a proof of concept) live run‘s HTML and CSS3 and Javascript DOM “make it dynamic” newspaper.html source code.
We are going to illustrate this dynamism below as well to show you a Javascript DOM approach to changing the styling properties (randomly) …

Adding to our recent CSS3 Filters Primer Tutorial, today, we’d like to delve further into the great things CSS3 brought to the client side “aesthetics” of web application work. Today’s “proof of concept” web application’s topic is border images. How often when developing a webpage or blog post via HTML, if you are into that kind of thangthing, have you wanted to enhance something and make it stand out, but were satisfied enough with its content? Lots, I’d imagine, and perhaps you put a normal border around it from the CSS days. That can be impactive, and there are lots of styling choices here. But what if you wanted to “theme” the content via the “look” of its border? You can pattern a normal border via dashed and dotted styles, and other methods, but unless the content is about Morse Code, or some such content, it is unlikely there, that you have “themed” your content to align with the “look” of your border. That is where CSS3’s border images can come to the fore. Today, we don’t “theme” and match with the “look”, as we just try to make things “stand out”, and this can be good with these border image styling approaches too.
Researching this topic, we lobbed onto the great resource that TutorialsPoint provides and based our HTML and CSS3 and Javascript live run‘s border_image.html source code off their example code, so thanks.
You’ll see the border image CSS3 parts to this proof of concept code below …
… which sets up the “static” first up scenario, but to add some randomness into the web application workings, we use some Javascript DOM (kicked off via a document.body onload event call and then perpetuated by good ol’ setTimeout method calls) as below to make the web application more dynamic, using images used with our “one image webpage” Ephemeral …
It’s not just the image editor Gimp that has “filters” as tools to create effects with image data (files), as you might see with tutorials like Gimp Decor Filters Revisit Tutorial. These days, with CSS, and with CSS3 these days, there are some great “filters” to play around with, that modify an image there and then with CSS and/or Javascript DOM (as per the HTML select “dropdown” element onchange event logic …
) … or jQuery means by which to make this happen with a lot of the modern web browsers. If you see “CSS3” mentioned, then don’t expect everything to work on super-old web browsers, but expect that anything you implement could be aesthetically interesting or pleasing, as it would not have taken until CSS3 to come along if it was a dead set simple thing to have implemented in the early days of the internet.
Today’s simple (really) proof of concept web application owes a debt of gratitude to this very useful link, which gave us the parameters by which we could construct today’s live run with its pretty simple HTML and CSS (via CSS3) and Javascript DOM css_filters.html source code for you to peruse, and make of what you will. So what (CSS3) filters are we talking about here?
blur(px)
brightness(%)
contrast(%)
drop-shadow(h-shadow v-shadow blur spread color)
grayscale(%)
hue-rotate(deg)
invert(%)
opacity(%)
saturate(%)
sepia(%)
… which are mostly self explanatory we hope. Let’s just say you’re me … “You’re me.” … ta … please explain “drop shadow” … oh … you mean … me?
In graphic design, a drop shadow is a visual effect consisting of a drawing element which looks like the shadow of an object, giving the impression that the object is raised above the objects behind it.
As you can imagine, this opening up of this functionality to the client-side web developer opens up lots of opportunities to make your webpages stand out.
Today we return to the wonderful, marvellous and stupendous Gimp image editor and examine some more of its filters, following up on concepts last discussed with Gimp Decor Border Filters Primer Tutorial in the “Decor” category, namely …
Fuzzy Border
Coffee Stain
Old Photo … in the tutorial picture … plus below …
Add Bevel
Add Border
Slide
Rounded Corners
… which create quite good effects we feel, especially the Fuzzy Border filter, as it is quite difficult, otherwise to create a “smudged” border effect, perhaps for vignetting purposes, without this filter. We imagine an old map photo could be glamourized using “Coffee Stain” (for the accident prone) or “Old Photo”.
These “Decor” filters are available off Gimp’s Filter menu as a submenu containing these and some other effects. They use “Script-Fu” based on the Scheme interpretive language. These “Script-Fu” filters are not only powerful and useful for what they are, but also for how you can introduce predictability with your effects, in that you can record settings you use, make them public, as necessary, to help create a unified creative but predictable set of effects in the photographs you are applying filters to.
So we’ll leave you with a photo of our house …
… with …
Fuzzy Border …
Coffee Stain (“Darken only” unchecked) … probably not so apt for this image’s subject matter …
Old Photo (“Defocus”, “Sepia”, “Mottle” all checked) …
Add Bevel (30, “Keep bump layer” checked) …
Add Border (37 x and 37 y width, 85 delta value on default blue colour) …
Slide (62) …
Rounded Corners (Edge radius 30, Shadow x offset 15, y 15, Blur radius 25) …
