ATTRIBUTES

  • FILENAME This is the filename for the image.

  • TYPE If the image type is not specified in the filename, specify it here.

  • SCALE / W / H This is used to scale the image. SCALE is a value by which the image's height and width will be multiplied to arrive at the final height and width. Or, you can set W and or H, as the width (or height) you want the image to have, once scaled.

    The algorithm used to calculate scaling has changed, somewhat, from v0.05. It should result in better calculations, as it tries more avenues. Ultimately, if it cannot figure out what to do, it will set a SCALE of 0.5 and go from there.

  • BORDER This is a boolean, used to specify if you want to draw a border around the image

  • COLOR Ignored unless BORDER is specified. This is the color of the border.
