Requirements and Tips for Your HTML Presentations

horizontal rule

  1. The final version of your presentation must be installed in your RHIT AFS account, although you may develop your presentation elsewhere if you like. Make sure that your website files are self-contained, meaning that every HTML and non-HTML file in your website must show up in the top-level subdirectory or below. The top-level HTML file (entry point to your website) must be called ‘index.htm’.
     

  2. Make a directory called 'ece481'. Make subdirectories for each miniproject (e.g., 'miniproj5') and place all files pertaining to the project in that directory.  Consider subdirectories as a way to organize your files, e.g., ‘html’, ‘sounds’, and ‘images’.
     

  3. Strive to make effective use of hyperlinks in your HTML documents. A good rule of thumb is to use at most about two or three screenfuls of information at a time.
     

  4. Sound files can be included in your web page simply by establishing a hyperlink to the appropriate .wav file.
     

  5. I recommend Microsoft FrontPage for your website development tool. You can also use a page-oriented HTML editor such as Netscape Composer (part of Netscape Communicator), but it will be more difficult to maintain a consistent look-and-feel this way.
     

  6. If you hand-code your HTML documents, you must use relative addressing for all page and image links that are internal to your presentation (as opposed to absolute addressing). If you don’t understand this requirement, then ask! Rule of Thumb: The only time your should refer to a file using the http://host/filename convention is when the target file is not contained in the subdirectoy that contains your other files, for example, a link to another location external to your website.
     

  7. The top-level page of your presentation shall contain the following minimum set of information: project title (must be descriptive of your specific project, not just a copy of the title of the lab handout), your name, course number and name, school name, date, and table of contents (links to the various sections of your presentation), and hyperlink to your email address. Include both team member addresses (e.g., use "mailto:member1@rose-hulman.edu,member2@rose-hulman.edu").
     

  8. MATLAB figure windows can be saved to PNG-format images as follows (you could also use JPEG format; see MATLAB help for 'imwrite' for details):

    x = getframe(gcf);	% from current figure
    x = getframe(3);	% from a specific figure (e.g., figure 3)
    figure			% make a new figure
    imshow(x.cdata);	% verify that figure was captured OK
    imwrite(x.cdata,'__.png')	% save figure image to a PNG file
    

    You may wish to make a function based on the above code to save time later on.
