I need to allow them to put the width and height of the image on the stx form to show the images smaller. Did somebody already programmed this?
Please don't, unless all your users will be on a LAN with the image server.
This would be the case. It's a 100 MBit LAN. The site will only be accessible at the department itself. Altough I get your point.
If these are the usual multi-million-pixel lossless-compression radiology images, they'll kill your bandwidth and render painfully slowly. See if you can modify STX to generate image tags similar to the following:
<img src="path/to/object?display=small">
and then use Ron Bickers' Photo product that can automatically generate thumbnails of various sizes. It looks like you can use the Photo product with images stored on the filesystem with ExtImage, too.
I've to look at this, but the problem is that not all the images have the same size... some are really big and other less (depending on the resolution of the radiographic image) and to make the document still readable and the images still visible, the radiologist still has to give an image width and height Tom.
