Hi folks,
$ ls -1 doc/images
- back.gif
- bali.jpg
- cat.gif
- cover.jpg
- cramps.gif
- dave.gif
- info.gif
- jello.jpg
- jim.gif
- note.gif
- oxford.gif
- quad.jpg
- ring.gif
- smallliz.jpg
- strike.gif
- warning.gif
Anyone know what the origin and purpose of these images is (or was)? They can be put into these categories:
- photos of individuals (bali, dave, jim) - anyone know who these people are and what the connection to libtiff is?
- photos of animals (cat, smalliz) - anyone know the significance of these?
- photos of objects (strike) - anyone know the significance of this?
- computer-generated graphics (cover, jello, quad, ring) - various geometric shapes, relevance unclear
- computer screenshots (oxford) - looks like a shell prompt and system load graph, relevance unclear
- scanned linart (cramps) - anyone know the significance and history of this?
- documentation icons (back, info, note, warning) - obsoleted by Sphinx equivalents
With the conversion to Sphinx, I've copied over the use of all the images on the same documentation pages with the exception of the documentation icons. However, they don't appear to have any particularly obvious connection to the pages they are associated with or any obvious connection to the TIFF file format or library. If the origin and copyrights are unclear, and they don't add any particular value to the documentation, would anyone object to removing them all?
Thanks,
Roger
