Layout, to Jpeg, to Web
This is a two-step process:
- Turn the layout into an image (a jpeg file)
- Create a web page to display and describe the file
You'll follow my lead to create the jpeg from your layout (we'll do this
methodically, like you did yesterday with Susan). Then you'll impress us all by
creating your web page using the elementary tags of HTML.
- These are the steps we'll follow to create the jpeg:
- Start ArcView
- Open your project, created yesterday
- Add an "extension" to ArcView (JPEG Support)
- Open the layout you created yesterday
- "Export" the layout as a jpeg image (calling it kyview.jpg)
- Quit ArcView
I'll lead you through these steps.
- These are the steps to create the html (you'll carry these out on your
own, but feel free to ask questions!):
- Open notepad
- Use these elementary html commands (at least) to create a new html
document:
- html
- head
- body
- title
- h1
- center
- img
Goal: to create a document that shows and explains your
map.
- Save your document as layout.html
- Open this file in Netscape, and check that it looks good.
- Use WS_FTP to transfer the file to your public_html folder on guru
(remember that you have a new password!).
- Use the chmod command to give your files the appropriate
permissions.
- Check your new website, and see if it's working! If you've done
everything correctly, and your username is "bud", then your URL
would be "http://guru.nku.edu/~bud/layout.html".
