Dynamic Gallery question for programmers - GoFuckYourself.com

Has anybody solved the problem of how to layout a dynamically generated gallery where the thumbs and images are both landscape and portrait and vary in the # on the page? Is this an if-else question and a query to each image type? Is there a faster solution?

Try placing them in a fixed size table area based on the biggest one...

if you use php for it you can read the dimensions of the pic and then use them the way suitable.

use and template toolkit. Separates your code and html so you dont go blind and/or stupid when you do updates and it's very robust in it's features so you could pretty much just chalk it up anyway you wanted. Use ImageMagick/perlmagick to get dimensions and resize to thumbnails on the fly or once and cache.
