boardimage = "imagefilename"
The boardimage command allows you to select an image file to be used for the chess board. This image is usually only the top four squares, a7-a8-b7-b8, and is tiled by the browser to fill out the full 64 squares. You can use an image with all 64 squares if you wish to, but this will result in larger files and longer download times. Here is an example boardimage: ![]() Note that it is up to you to supply the complete pathname of the boardimage and that the image is relative to the Html document location. For example, if you place your board images in the jpc folder along with your pieces, then you could use a board called 'blue24.jpg' like this: boardimage = "jpc/blue24.jpg" If no boardimage is provided, then Palview will generate an image filename for you. It will generate a filename called brdimgXX.jpg where XX is the pcsize (except where pcsize = 29, then no XX is used). This generated boardimage filename will reside in the imgurl. So if you were using pcsize = 35 and your imgurl = "myboards", then Palview3 will generate a boardimage like this: boardimage = "myboards/brdimg35.jpg" Note that it is also possible to use a GIF image for your own boards as well as JPG, it is entirely up to you. |
