“Since we can do HTML without much fuss, we are well on
our way to creating a pretty cool web presentation for our
pictures. However, setting up that little web slide show can be a
tad time consuming even if you know how to do all these things.
This is where today’s hero comes into play.

iGal is a simple Perl script written by Eric Pop, and it
certainly qualifies as a program I cannot do without. If you need
to create a presentation of images in a hurry for your web site,
for your family or for your company, then you should check out iGal
at http://www.stanford.edu/~epop/igal/. iGal also makes use of the
ImageMagick tools we talked about to do its work.

Installing this is child’s play since iGal (which stands for
Image GALlery generator), being a Perl script, is already source.
Still, you can download an RPM or Debian package from their site,
which will put the script and its documentation in all the right
places.”
