Graphical Counter Digit Sets

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 13, 1997). Have a look at the hundreds (literally) of digit sets available.
