[TriLUG] image-platform problem

[Roger W. Broseus via TriLUG]

mver,

When I examine the image at the link you provided, I see that its size is only 
3.7 kB. If one tries to view it larger than that, it is bound to pixilate. No 
way around that. If it is used on a full sized web page, you could display it 
as tiles if you want to fill-up the screen.

How did I find this info? In most browsers, right-click on the image and 
choose View Image Info. In Firefox, click on the General tab and see the title 
of the image with "(JPEG Image 140 x 93 pixels)" . . .  size 3.69 kB, which is 
approximately the product of 140 x 93. That will pixilate on virtually any 
screen if you try to expand it.
