[IPOL discuss] screen size/resolution vs. text and image size

[Nicolas Limare]

A follow-up on the screen resolution problems, already shrortly
discussed on the list[1].

To overcome the problem of high-resolution screens, I tried an
alternative configuration. Now the font size for all IPOL and the size
of the thumbnails for the archive indexes are specified in "physical
measures", ie cm instead of pixels.

This means that (for any correctly configured screen) the size of
these elements should be the same and provide the same confort to
everyone.

This can not be used for images other than thumbnails because the
images will be resized by the browser on high-resolution screens to be
displayed with the same size as on a low-res screen, and we want
pixel-wise exactitude on the (non-thumbnail) images.

Now I would like to know more about your IPOL user experience:

* What is your screen size (width and height, in cm please)
  and definition (width and height in pixels)
* How large usually is your browser window? full screen, half, ...

* What do you think of the text size in the algo pages?
  -> http://www.ipol.im/pub/algo/my_affine_sift/
* And on the archive index pages?
  -> http://www.ipol.im/pub/demo/my_affine_sift/archive/
* What about the thumbnail sizes in the archive index?

Are these sizes good, too large, too small? If you'd like them to be
larger or smaller, please give an approximative enlarging or shrinking
ratio.

If you only answer these 5 questions, please send me your message
privately (nicolas.limare at cmla.ens-cachan.fr) to avoid noise on the
list; I will compile and post the statistics. Of course, if you have
remarks and comments, the mailing-list is the best place.
