Introduction

  This is the extension for w3m to support inline image.

Support

  * Display inline images (GIF, PNG, JPEG, etc.) on terminals
    (xterm, rxvt, etc.) of X11, Linux framebuffer device or
    terminals of Windows.
  * Support inline image of <img> tag.
    Support of attributes "width", "height", and "align".
  * Direct display of image file which header is "Content-type: image/*"
  * Support of <map> tag.
    Support of attributes "shape" and "coords" of <area> tag. 
  * Support of an attribute "ismap" of <img> tag.
    "w3m" adds coordinate of the cursor as ?<x>,<y> to url, and sends url.
  * Support of an attribute "type=image" of <input> tag.
    "w3m" sends coordinate of the cursor as <name>.x=<x>&<name>.y=<y>.
  * Asynchronous loading of image files.
  * Using cache of image file as pixmap.
  * Support of GIF animation when use GdkPixbuf.


Key functions

  DISPLAY_IMAGE
      Restart loading and drawing of images.
  STOP_IMAGE
      Stop loading and drawing of images in the current buffer.
  SET_OPTION  display_image=toggle
      Toggle loading and drawing of images.

  These functions are not keybinded as default.
  Specify the following keymaps in ~/.w3m/keymap.
      keymap  X    DISPLAY_IMAGE
      keymap  C-c  STOP_IMAGE
      keymap  t    SET_OPTION  display_image=toggle

Commandline options

  -ppc <pixel>
      # of pixels per character. The default value is automatically
      detected. Must fit the width of font of terminal.
  -ppl <pixel>
      # of pixels per character. The default value is automatically
      detected. Must fit the height of font of terminal.

Option panel

  pixel_per_char
      # of pixels per character. The default value is automatically
      detected. Must fit the width of font of terminal.
  pixel_per_line
      # of pixels per character. The default value is automatically
      detected. Must fit the height of font of terminal.
  display_image
      Display of inline image. The default is ON.
  auto_image
      Automatic loading of inline image. The default is ON.
      If it is OFF, loading starts with a command DISPLAY_IMAGE.
  max_load_image
      Maximum # of processes for downloading inline images. The default is 4.
      1 to 8 can be set.
  ext_image_viewer
      Use external image viewer, when a command VIEW_IMAGE or
      view of image file which header is "Content-type: image/*".
      The default is ON. If it is OFF, the image is directly displayed.
  image_scale
      Scale of image (%). The default value is 100(%).
  imgdisplay
      External command to display image. The default value is "w3mimgdisplay".
      See "Setting w3mimgdisplay."

Required programs

  for X11
    * GdkPixbuf-0.16 or later

    or

    * w3m-0.2.5+cvs-1.287 or later
      http://w3m.sourceforge.net/
      http://sourceforge.net/projects/w3m/
      http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/w3m/
    * Imlib-1.9.8 (1.9.10 is recommendable.)
      libungif-4.1.0b1 is recommendable.

  for Linux framebuffer device
    * GdkPixbuf-0.16 or later

    or

    * Imlib2-1.0.6 or later

    * Framebuffer device(packed pixels with 8 bpp pseudocolor
      and 16/24/32 bpp truecolor/directcolor)


Setting w3mimgdisplay

  "w3mimgdisplay" has the following options. Set options to fit terminal.

  -x <offset_x>
      The X origin of display of image on terminal. The default value
      for X11 is 2.
      If the terminal is "xterm", the width of scroll bar is added.
      If the terminal is "Eterm", it may be better to specify 5.
      The default value for Linux framebuffer device is 0.
  -y <offset_y>
      The Y origin of display of image on terminal. The default value
      for X11 is 2.
      If the terminal is "Eterm", it may be better to specify 5.
      The default value for Linux framebuffer device is 0.
  -bg <background>
      Background color of terminal. The default value for X11 is
      automatically detected.
      The default value for Linux framebuffer device is #000000 (black).
      When the color is specified as #RRGGBB, escape '#'.
  -anim <n>
      Maximum number of frames for animation. It will run everything
      if the number is 0. Negative values count backward from the end
      of the frames. The default value is 100.
  -margin <n>
      Margin of an area to clear an image. The default value is 0.

  ex.)
    w3m -o 'imgdisplay=w3mimgdisplay -x 5 -bg "#cccccc"'

Notice
    If you want to see GIF animation, please hit a suitable key, such
    as 'h', 'l', etc., repeatedly, because a new frame is only requested
    according to the re-drawing demand from w3m.

    Some code in w3mimg/fb/fb.c was originally written by Mr. Yamasaki.
    http://www.sainet.or.jp/~yamasaki/download/fb-sample.tar.gz

    On Windows, we check the behavior on standard console, Cygwin rxvt
    and PuTTY.
