Graphical Counter Digit Sets

To use any of the digit sets listed below, set the $digit_path, $digit_width, and $digit_height variables as indicated. You will find the declaration of the $img_path, $digit_width, and $digit_height variables in the c4g.pl cgi on lines 9-11.

If you find a digit set that you would like to use, it is a very simple procedure to configure the c4g.pl cgi to use your preferred images. Just follow these steps:

  1. Make a directory in the "/images/digits" directory called somename.
  2. Place the 10 images, "0.gif", "1.gif", "2.gif", etc., in the new directory, somename.
  3. Set the $digit_path, $digit_width, and $digit_height variable appropriately. These variables are defined on lines 9-11 in the c4g.pl cgi.

The definitive site for graphical digit sets is Digit Mania (link known to be valid as of December 06, 1996). Have a look at the hundreds (literally) of digit sets available.
