[Taxacom] Visual generic grass guide to Louisiana

[Timothy Jones]

Announcing a generic visual grass identification guide to Louisiana that
features full resolution specimen images, line drawings from  Flora of North
America Volumes 24 & 25,  and field images. The project utilizes Silverlight
and Deepzoom developed by Microsoft, enabling users to zoom in on full
resolution imagery.
Best experienced with a scroll mouse - use your mouse wheel to zoom in an
out on images.

Helpful hints -
1. By left clicking once on "quantity" under the facet "Genus" you change
the list to "A-Z".
2. Upper right corner contains two icons - a "grid view" and a "graph view"
- select a few genera and then click the "graph view" icon.  Now easily do
side by side comparisons.
3. Select "One to one comparison" at the bottom of the character list.  This
normalizes the image data (only one image per genus) thereby allowing for
equal character comparisons across all taxa.
4. Requires Silverlight - if you do not have it, it will prompt you to
install it.  Takes about a minute and it is a Microsoft product.
Best,
Tim
