Graphics powerhouse
Create attractive and dynamic graphics using the state-of-the-art graphics processing facilities in Roxen CMS:
- Graphical text – Render anti-aliased text on the fly using your favorite fonts. Combine with a large set of image effects to create headings that are textured or have automatic mouse-over highlighting. By having your headings stored as plain text in your multilingual XML pages or even generated programatically you get truly dynamic results.
- Graphical buttons and tabs – Create high-quality buttons and tabs with custom button frames, fonts, backgrounds and icons for friendly interfaces to e.g. web applications.
- Image transformations – Transform your images with scaling, rotating, cropping, color table conversions and many similar effects.
- Image conversions – Convert your images automatically between different image formats. Place Adobe Photoshop and GIMP images directly in the version-controlled Roxen CMS repository and rely on the server to automatically output GIF, PNG, JPEG and more for the web.
- Business graphics – Create line charts, bar charts, 2- and 3-dimensional pie charts and graphs from dynamic data such as XML or via databases.
