            <ulink url="http://tinysrc.net/">tinysrc.net</ulink> provides an API for automatic scaling
            and image format conversion for use with mobile devices. The API is quite simple: you
            simply create a standard HTML image tag, but append your image URL to a URL on the
            tinysrc.net domain:
        </para>

        <programlisting language="html"><![CDATA[

        <para>
            Their service then sizes the image appropriately for the device requesting it.

        <para>
            You can control a number of aspects regarding image display, including:

            <listitem>
                <para>
                    <emphasis>Image dimensions</emphasis>. You may specify a width and optional
                    height. These dimensions can be in absolute pixels, or use one of the adaptive
                    mechanisms tinysrc.net offers. One is <emphasis>subtractive</emphasis>;
                    prepending a dimension with a minus ("-") indicates that the image should fill
                    the maximum physical dimensions, <emphasis>minus</emphasis> the value given in
                    pixels. The other is <emphasis>percentage</emphasis> based; prepending a
                    dimension with an "x" tells the service to size that dimension by that
                    percentage -- e.g., "x20" indicates "20%".

                    <emphasis>Image format</emphasis>. By default, tinysrc.net autodiscovers the
                    format. Internally, it supports only <acronym>JPEG</acronym> or
                    <acronym>PNG</acronym>, and autoconverts <acronym>GIF</acronym> to
                    <acronym>PNG</acronym>. You can specifically request that it should convert an
                    image to either <acronym>PNG</acronym> or <acronym>JPEG</acronym>, however.

        <para>
            The most basic usage is simply to pass the path to an image, relative to your document
            root or base URL, to create the appropriate image tag:
        </para>

        <programlisting language="php"><![CDATA[
<?php echo $this->tinySrc('/images/foo.png'); ?>
]]></programlisting>

        <para>
            You may specify default values for the base URL, conversion format, dimensions, and
            whether or not to create an <acronym>img</acronym> tag by default:
        </para>

        <programlisting language="php"><![CDATA[
<?php $this->tinySrc()
           ->setBaseUrl('http://example.com/foo/')
           ->setCreateTag(false)                // disable tag creation
           ->setDefaultFormat('png')            // convert images to PNG
           ->setDefaultDimensions('-5', 'x20'); // width should be 5 less than screen width;
                                                // height should be 20% of total screen height
?>
]]></programlisting>

        <para>
            Finally, you can also pass in values as an array of options, passed as the second
            parameter:
        </para>

        <programlisting language="php"><![CDATA[
<?php echo $this->tinySrc('/images/foo.png', array(

                You may want to return only a tinysrc.net URL. To do this, you have two options:
                make this the default behavior, or specify in your <varname>$options</varname> not
                to create a tag.
            </para>

            <programlisting language="php"><![CDATA[
// Specifying default behavior:
$this->tinySrc()->setCreateTag(false);
echo $this->tinySrc('image.jpg');

// Per-image:
echo $this->tinySrc('image.jpg', array('create_tag' => false));
