Guidance on using the Graphic Publications Viewer

Invoking CBZ/CBR files

The standard format for accessing a .cbz or .cbr file is to use the form: URL/viewer.php?file=filename.cbz where URL is typically https://www.webdoxx.org/publishers/graphics/ and filename is the name of the file to be dispalyed. The full URL can be augmented with zoom level, page number and 1-page or 2-page layouts at startup. These are handled by adding to the end of the URL optional elements, for example &z=75&format=2&page=7 which would zoom to 75%, open with 2-page layout, and open on page 7. The zoom level can be specified as zoom= or z= and can be a number, a percentage (e.g. 75 - do not include the % symbol) or fit-height or fit-width. For Manga the URL can be augmented with &manga or &manga=1, whilst &manga=2 provides left-right page order and display. In addition, files can be opened at a specified page by including &page=nn

Toolbar elements (when shown - use Settings cogwheel to show or hide)

Single or two-page display

Use the toolbar icon to select single or two-page display. The circular toolbar icon with a 1 inside allows you to specify the first page as separate from the two-page spreads

Fit height/fit width and zoom

Use the toolbar double-headed arrow icons to select quick page fit options, and the zoom slider for selective zooming

Settings cogwheel

Use the Settings facility to show or hide the toolbar and sidebars, and enable optional audio and haptic (vibration) feedback. If metadata is available for CBZ/CBR files and is enabled, it will be displayed when the page is tapped. With &manga selected in the URL the default settings open with the top toolbar hidden and the lower toolbar enabled
