    Some examples of Roxen's features:
1. Use of generated images/logos:

Using the <gtext>-TAG it is quite easy to generate some images containing antialiased text. For full documentation of the <gtext>-TAG use <gtext help></gtext>. More fonts are available in RPM-format at the Homepage of this Roxen-RPMs. Some examples:

<gtext nfont="Lucida" scale=0.7 bg="#eeeeee" fg="#663366">Welcome to Roxen</gtext>

Result:
Welcome to Roxen

<gtext nfont="Bell Gothic" bg="#eeeeee" fg="#333399" shadow="80%,2" italic magic="See your statusbar changing?" href="http://www.freshmeat.net/">I am a link!</gtext>

Result:
I am a link!

2. Business diagrams:

Use the Business diagram-module for generating diagrams without a spreadsheet, add a legend or coloured backgrounds. This even works with a SQL-Query and a supported database, see the SQL-Query-module for some examples. Roxen offers a lot of different subtypes of diagrams: 

       <diagram type=pie  width=240 height=240 quant=128
          name='Webserver' 3D tonedbox='blue,white,white,red'>
          <data separator=,>5305048,5137269,4399993,8865051</data>
          <legend  separator=,>Apache, Roxen, Netscape, IIS</legend>
       </diagram>

Result:
5305048,5137269,4399993,8865051 Apache, Roxen, Netscape, IIS 

       <diagram type=line width=240 height=300 name='Math. functions' 
         horgrid tonedbox='lightgreen,lightgreen,white,white'>
         <data form=row separator=, xnamesvert xnames>
           0,5,10,15,20,25,30
           5,6,8,10,15,22,35
           0,5,10,15,20,25,30
           0,0,0,15,15,15,0
         </data>
         <legend separator=,>f(a*e^x),f(x),???</legend>
         <xaxis quantity=X>
         <yaxis quantity=Value>
       </diagram>

Result:
0,5,10,15,20,25,30 5,6,8,10,15,22,35 0,5,10,15,20,25,30 0,0,0,15,15,15,0 f(a*e^x),f(x),???

3. Graphical counters:

Roxen supports it's own counter-system, for every page served. Choose from many different styles (see the RPM-Homepage for a optional RPM containing about 775 variations), rotate or shrink the digits. Or be a cheater and add some visits...

<counter len=4>

Result:

<counter len=5 per=day size=7 add=234>

Result:

4. Automatic tables:

Tired of typing <TR> and <TD>? Use the tablify-Modul and make your life easier. Automatic modulo-based coloured rows, graphical headlines and a pretty box around the table. See the documentation for the different options. 

       <tablify nicer cellseparator="|"
         rowseparator="$">User|Server|Browser$
         John|Apache|Netscape$
         Oliver|Roxen|Lynx$
         Marco|Netscape|Opera$
         Don Juan|IIS|CrashMe$
       </tablify>
Result:
User|Server|Browser$ John|Apache|Netscape$ Oliver|Roxen|Lynx$ Marco|Netscape|Opera$ Don Juan|IIS|CrashMe

5. RXML/HTML-macros:

Make your life easier using your own-HTML-containers or -tags. Use the internal Roxen Macro Language, global or locally stored definitions - think of global tags like <companylogo> or <menutitle> and change the layout of your pages in one RXML-file instead of hundreds of HTML-pages... 

       <define container=url>
         <a href="<contents>"><contents></a>
       </define>

       <html>
         <head>
           <title>Simple RXML-demo 1</title>
         </head>

         <body>           
           <url>http://www.ls-la.net/roxen/</url>
         </body>
       </html>

Result within the body-part:
http://www.ls-la.net/roxen/

Or try this: site-wide RXML-file saved within /templates/rxml-definitions.incl: 
       <define tag=companylogo>
         <a href="http://www.roxen.com/"><img
           src="http://www.roxen.com/img/roxencom.gif" 
           border=0></a>
       </define>
And within every HTML-file: 
       <insert file="/templates/rxml-definitions.incl">

       <html>
         <head>
           <title>Simple RXML-demo 2</title>
         </head>

         <body>           
           <companylogo>
         </body>
       </html>
