GIS color code

Makes it easy to gauge the relative sizes of the images on a Google Image Search results page at a glance.

Now, you can include/exclude specific image results that are, owing to their being much larger than any other image result, skewing the visualization.

Below are two screen captures of the first page of results for a Google Image Search on "gauss" (as in Carl Friedrich Gauss, the mathematician and physicist). In the first, one extremely large image (a scan of banknotes bearing Gauss's likeness) is skewing the highlighting. If you were specifically looking for a regular sort of portrait of Gauss, this would be especially undesirable.

Clicking in the whitespace area around the undesirable image excludes it from the highlighting calculations and re-highlights the rest of the results (see the "after" image).

Before:

First page of Google Image Search results for 'Gauss' - note how the scan of the banknotes, much larger than the other images, skews the highlighting.

After:

First page of Google Image Search results for 'Gauss' with the scan of the banknotes excluded.  The relative sizes of the other images are much easier to discern now.

The background color of the td elements containing results images in a GIS results page are shaded yellow in proportion to the images' areas (width x height).
