Styles
Exhibits can be presented as a list of text links
to images or as thumbnail links to images. Both text and thumbnails can
be presented either in a "contact sheet" of rows and columns or in
scrolling navigation bars. Navigation bars can be oriented at the left,
top, right or bottom of the page.

Images
can be presented in a slide show that can be set with various
transition styles with an audio background. The slide show navigation
bar can be positioned at the left, top, right or bottom of the image.
Audio file types include (but not limited
to):
wav, midi, mp3.
|
Properties
Properties can be set for each exhibit such as,
font, background color or background image, borders, margins,
drop-shadows and many more.
Templates
Templates provide the ability to reuse exhibit
styles and properties for new exhibits or load into existing exhibits.
Quixhibit is shipped with a few basic templates plus any project can be
saved as a template for reuse later.
Captions and Annotations
|
Captions and annotations are optional.
However, with Quixhibit you have the ability to add captions and
annotations for each image and folder in your exhibit.
|
|
|
|
|
 The Caption and annotation area
of the main window can also be floated in a separate window. This
provides a larger viewing area in the main window for images and more
room for entering text.
|
Spell Checking
|
|
Quixhibit can check the spelling in your
text including captions, annotations, banner and footer.
Spell check can be done for a single page or
for the entire project at once.
|
Cropping
|
Often it's preferable to show only a
portion of an image. With Quixhibit's crop feature, a cropped area of
the original image can be used to generate the images for the
exhibit.
|
|
|
|
Sections
|
Image cropping is used to eliminate areas of
an image that are unwanted. The reasons for cropping are varied.
Usually it's to emphasize the main subject. However,
one disadvantage with simple copping is that there may be more
than one area of an image that you want to emphasize. With
Quixhibit's image sections feature, multiple
selected areas of an image can be added to an exhibit as
separate images.
The screen shots below show an exhibit that
was generated from only one source image, a photo of a World War
II B-17 crew.
A contact sheet style exhibit was used to
display thumbnail images and a prolog. The full photo and an
image section of each crew member are shown on separate images
pages.

Rotation
|
Often pictures are taken with the camera
held at a 90-degree angle, left or right. The images appear sideways
unless they are rotated. Quixhibit makes it easy to rotate these images
when generating an exhibit.
|
|
|
|
Sorting
Images can be sorted automatically or arranged
manually.
If set to manual, sorting can be done by dragging
thumbnails in the thumbnail view or by dragging the filename in the
tree view.
Preview
 After
the exhibit has been built, it can be previewed in your web
browser by selecting the Preview toolbar button or Build |
Preview on the main menu.
FTP
Transfer
|
|
Quixhibit has an integrated FTP client.
Transfer your image exhibit to a remote host
directly from Quixhibit.
|
File Name Re-sequencing
|
|
Use the Re-sequence Filenames Dialog to
rename image files in sequential order.
The images in the source folders may be a
collection of unrelated filenames or may have originally been in
sequential order but some images have been deleted (as is often the
case with digital photography).
|
File Name Set To Lower Case
|
 Use
the Lower Case dialog to set all filenames in the source folder to
lower case. Most web servers use operating systems where filenames are
case sensitive. E.g. filename.ext is not the same as FileName.ext
because the case varies. (Windows is not case sensitive so filename.ext
is the same as FileName.ext).
|
Default
Text
|
|
Default attributes apply only for new text.
Once text is entered, changing the default attributes in the
Properties dialog does not change existing text.
Use the Default Text dialog to reset all
text in the selected categories to their respective default text format
attributes.
|
File
Types
Quixhibit can generate exhibits from these file
types:
CD's
Quixhibit also generates
the content for image exhibit or archive CD's with auto-run files.
