# This is a shell script. It's not important, really, but if you strip

/* Csheet -- A program to make contact sheets out of .gif files.
Version: 0.01

The author hereby places this program in the public domain.
Anybody can do anything with this code, even clean it up and
call it h{er,is} own (though I'd appreciate some little credit
somewhere). There is no warrenty expressed or implied in this
program. The author assumes no liability for damage caused by
this program or by programmers who go berzerk after trying to
read this program. You are on your own.
The author admits that this program is awful. Don't judge
his programming talent by the junk that's here. I used to be
a competition programmer in college. You learn to code fast
when maintainability and style don't matter. I program for
a living, and what I write for work bears little or no
resemblence to this mess. Please don't show this junk to
any beginning C programmer. It's bad for their teeth.
---------------------------------------
This program is a translation into C of the Bourne shell
script called "contact", posted to alt.sex.pictures.d
by Ron Schnell and modified by rekers at cwi.nl. I had problems
with the original because I run on a Sys-V system with a
14 character file name limit. The posted scripts immediately
ran afowl of this limit. My modifications to the shell script
made it almost work, but things were still strange. I hacked
this together in about an hour, and touched it up after some
debugging. I'm posting it about 4 hours old.
Note that this program differs from the original shell script
in several important ways --
1) It takes file name parameters rather than having a
hard coded source directory.
2) The output and work directories can be changed without
recompiling through shell variables.
3) ditto for the output file name
4) ditto for the maximum image height
5) It should take care of non-full last pages.
This code is blecherous, uncommented garbage! It doesn't catch
signals, have command line options, or create its own pipes. It
uses "system()" for everything, and does not protect the user's
temporary files against other users' temporary files. All of these
things could be added without too much difficulty, but I'm lazy.
Usage: csheet <gif_file_list>
where <gif file list> is a space separated list of the files
(including paths if not in the current directory) to be included
in the contact sheet. These files are expected to have the
extension ".gif", and if they don't, .gif is _not_ appended.
A recent version of the PBMplus utility package (or at least
part of said package) must be accessable through the user's
search path (PATH) for system() to do its stuff.
The program looks in the environment for four symbols,
SHEETWORK (defaults to /tmp)
The directory the work gets done in. It
is a good idea to set this environment variable
to something other than /tmp, just in case someone
else is trying to run this program at the same
time you are. There should be several megabytes
free in the file system containing this directory.
SHEETDEST (defaults to .)
The directory in which the resulting .gif file
will be placed.
SHEETNAME (defaults to sheet)
The first part of the name of the contact sheet
file. It will have a two-digit sequence number
appended to it, followed by ".gif".
SHEETHEIGHT (defaults to 768)
This specifies the maximum height of the contact
sheet (in scan lines).
You can override the default default values at compile time
by defining DEFWORK, DEFDEST, DEFPREFIX, and DEFHEIGHT, respectively.
bugs: If the files names are not in wildcard expansion order
in the argument list to the program, the labels on the
images might be wrong.
I'm sure there are many more, I've not seen them yet.
todo: The program should take switches to override both the
defaults and the environment. Someone who cares should
add this.
It's rather difficult to interrupt this program...
Appropriate signals should be caught and the return
status from 'system()' should be examined so the
program can tell when a child has been interrupted
rather than just failed. Some cleanup of the work
directory should be done.
There is no need to use the basename of the .gif
file as part of the temporary file names. A unique
prefix should be generated for each instance of this
program along with the sequence number of the file
in the command line, thereby eliminating a bunch of
problems with wild-card expansion order and conflicts
between concurrent executions of this program.
