Abstract
Dynamically-generated images sized according to a requesting web client application display resolution are provided. The client application may calculate a target display resolution and pass the target display resolution as an input parameter with a request to a server for application content. The server may use the desired size input parameter to determine an optimal image size for the target display resolution. The server may render the application content as one or more images to the optimal image size and send the rendered image(s) to the client application. A determination may be made by the client application to display the image(s) at the size received or to scale the server-provided image(s). If the available area in the client application pane changes, the client application may recalculate the target display resolution and issue a new request to the server with the new target display resolution as the desired size input parameter.
