HandoutBrowser.js

This is the web home of HandoutBrowser.js, a short JavaScript program I wrote that allows for programmed scrolling through a "handout" (really, just an image of any kind) within a web browser.

To do

• Document everything.
• Study anti-aliasing.
• Use cookies to save state.
• Allow "backwards" capture rectangles.
• Arrange a default for "views".
• Add a "time elapsed" box.
