It may have been posted already but at least you didn't link to a ***** blog. - nebbyfoshebby, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0pretty awesome
- scottt106, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0that's pretty sweet.
- vonskippy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Looks like what a 4 year old would draw.

- seviyon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Cool link, digg+
- starbirix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0If you're trying to compile the C code on OSX (and I suspect linux)... libpng is an easy enough installation but gcc will still choke on textorizer.c until you change #include to #include
- starbirix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0argh, it filtered out the stuff.... second try:
change #include <malloc.h> to #include <stdlib.h>

Photographs lose too much detail. The flickr example looks sweet. the mona lisa one, well, i wouldn't have figured what it was if i saw it.

- Tetsuo6995, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0can't open the created file =/ , everytime it ask me to download a file without any extension :s
- pupa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Nice effect... it uses SVG so I don't think it works in Opera or IE... (Opera outputs an SVG but it's not correct because it only uses SVG Tiny)
- pupa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yeah it requires Firefox 1.5

- maxf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Thanks for the comments and the great pictures. I've done of couple of fixes to the source so it compiles without warnings. I've also made available linux executables at . I'll make other changes soon, watch that space: . From the feedback I got by email, it seems a windows version would be welcome. Anybody up for it?
- maxf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2bah, digg doesn't like URLs between pointy brackets. So:

new version will be announced on http://people.w3.org/maxf/blog - WeeklyGeek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0that's really cool!
- surfing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very cool Maxf!
It would be cool if it took the images width and height default.
Windows version would be nice -
