I typically use an html file called aaaindex.htm to display
my SAS/Graph examples, so you have thumbnails (with a link to
the fullsize graph) and a text link below the thumbnail to see
the '_info' file about that example.
The original version of aaaindex.htm was created by a word
processor, and I have modified it to suit my needs over the years.
One advantage of the way the images are displayed is that the
thumbnails are generated on-the-fly from the full-size images,
and if your browser supports VML then the browser can create
a *very* sharp-looking thumbnail (using sub-pixel technology).
It is a bit cumbersome to edit this generated-code though,
and I have to always keep the text labels under the thumbnails
exactly the same length (or they won't line up). Also, if you
resize your browser window smaller such that 4 columns of samples
don't fit on the page, then the layout looks really bad.
And another drawback is that the user has to download/cache
all 16+ images, in order to create all 16 thumbnails. :\
Therefore, I decided to see if I could generate a similar layout
from SAS/Graph - I knew the thumbnails wouldn't look as good, but
I would be overcoming *all* of the disadvantages I listed above.
I think the results came out pretty well! :)
(I think this is a similar exercise to the old test of seeing
if a compiler can compile itself :)
