Argument
(* means required) |
Possible Values |
Meaning |
| link* |
anything that doesn't contain a space |
Uniquely identifies the page calling the counter. This is case-sensitive. See examples
below. |
| width |
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 or 9 |
The width of the resulting image in digits. Extra zeros will be added to the
beginning. If the width is too short for the number to be displayed, it is lengthened so
that all digits may be displayed. Default is 4. |
| style* |
any directory name under the /digits directory, for example, led, or
the reserved value simple. Should not contain spaces |
Specifies the set of digits to use in constructing the final image, or specifes the
use of the simple style 1. Should be all lower-case |
| ord |
yes or no (must be lowercase). |
If ord=yes, an ordinal number will be outputted 2.
An ordinal number is a number like 345th, 10871st, 22nd, etc. The default is no |
| bgcolour |
RRGGBB or trans |
When using the simple style, specifies the background colour of the image, or
if trans is used, specifies a transparent background. RRGGBB should be 3 2-digit
hex values in one string, similar to the HTML command <BODY BGCOLOR="RRGGBB">
. This argument has no meaning when style does not equal simple. The default
is 000000 (black). |
| fgcolour |
RRGGBB |
When using the simple style, specifies the foreground colour of the image.
Same format as bgcolour. The default is FFFFFF (white). |
| inc |
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 |
Determines how much to increment the counter. Using 0 means the counter will not
increment. Using a value less than 0 will result in no increment. Using a value greater
than 5 will result in an increment of 5. If you are calling from a computer specified in
the [No-Increment-For] section of counter.cfg, this argument has no effect. |
Here are some examples of using the counter. You should change /cgi-bin/ to the
name of your server's CGI directory if different.
This style requires less disk I/O and thus (should) execute more quickly.
