.....You will find that he uses the "print" function of a web page as a crutch. But any coder with smarts and dusk-to-dawn energy can make this tool "copy" the text, take note of its font, and lay it out full screen with multiple columns. Is anybody reading this? (Or do these notes just fade away unseen?) If so, what are you hanging around for? It's time to write code! | .....You will find that he uses the "print" function of a web page as a crutch.

== Resampling Options for Image Scaling (Enables Higher Quality) == | |||
-Currently, Firefox will just resize large images to fit in the browser window. This method is adequate, but better options should be provided for users; however it's up to them to enable it or not (depending on system capability/performance), | |||
-We may borrow algorithm/codes from other open-source projects (such as The GIMP). Options that could be provided are : | |||
1. Resample (Lanczos) - highest quality; slowest | |||
2. Resample (Bicubic) - better quality | |||
3. Resample (Bilinear) - good quality | |||
4. Resize only (Nearest Neighbour) - lowest quality; fastest | |||
-Detailed explanation/information could be provided as tooltips and within the documentation (help file). | |||
-The most easy way to assess this (my) suggestion is at Wikipedia Featured Pictures page : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_pictures [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_pictures]. Here, most pictures are usually way larger than common monitor resolutions; so when Firefox automatically scaled the picture, the first impression (of that picture) is not as good as it should be (imagine jaggies/aliasing when scaling a picture to 1/4th of its original size. | |||
-This feature could be determined by Firefox at first run (after setup) whether to turn it on or not by assessing the system performance. Later, user could change through the Options... | |||
