[QUOTE="pneumatik, post: 5326002, member: 21087"] Yeah, I checked and you can. You inspired me to hack together a couple of examples and attached them. Well, that and [MENTION=1]Morrus[/MENTION] asked for advice on how to build a battlemap in enworld. Lop off the .txt at the end of each file and open them in a browser. Both use tables with a background image to position text into the center of each square on the map. One file uses a map that already had a grid, and the other draws the grid on top of a gridless image. Both images are hotlinked from the cartographersguild.com. I did all the math and layout by hand, but it should be pretty straightforward to automate it. After a user pics a file, php's getimagesize should provide its dimensions. The user also has to pick either the number of rows or the number of columns. The image dimension on the appropriate side divided by the number of rows or columns (as appropriate) will give the dimension of each square in the grid. I set each square size with WIDTH and HEIGHT, but there may be better ways. Then a script builds the table. PCs could be a letter or an image in a square (I filled a letter in every square in my examples).
