Details and Options

- CDFInformation is used to determine properties that are useful when deploying embedded content generated by CDFDeploy.
- CDFInformation can be used after CDFDeploy to determine the HTML fragment used to embed the CDF. It can also be used before CDFDeploy to help determine the value of a WindowSize option you wish to pass to CDFDeploy.
- CDFInformation gives its results as a list of rules. These rules can include:
-
"EmbeddingScript" an HTML fragment that can be used to embed the CDF in a webpage "Size" the size in pixels of the embedded result - If no file name is given, then the resulting "EmbeddingScript" rule will contain a placeholder of `1`, which represents the file name and can be replaced using StringReplace or StringForm.
- notebook may be a NotebookObject or a Notebook expression. Functions that evaluate to Notebook expressions such as DocumentNotebook, PaletteNotebook, and DialogNotebook are also acceptable.
- CDFInformation[notebook,WindowSize->{width,height}] causes the resulting properties to use the specified window size.
- CDFInformation[notebook,AlternateImagefilename] specifies an image to use in the "EmbeddingScript" rule.
- CDFInformation["file"] will use the in-memory version of file if it is presently open in the Wolfram System.
- CDFInformation[File["file"]] is equivalent to CDFInformation["file"].
- CDFInformation[URL["url"]] gives information for the Notebook returned by Import["url","Notebook"].
