| WebMagick makes image collections available on the Web. It recurses through
directory trees, building HTML pages, imagemap files, and
client-side/server-side maps or HTML tables to allow the user to navigate
through collections of thumbnail galleries. Using JavaScript, HTML tables,
and cookies, WebMagick can also allow the viewer to configure how they view
the gallery. The primary focus of WebMagick is performance. Image
thumbnails are reduced and composed into a single image to reduce client
accesses, reducing server load and improving client performance. Everything
is pre-computed. During operation WebMagick employs innovative caching and
work-avoidance techniques to make successive executions much faster. |
