echo_bat

Submitted by Justin Miller on Thu, 02/02/2006 - 1:59pm.

Our echo_bat.module allows you to have a dynamic PNG image representing progress on a fundraising or membership goal akin to the "bat" used on the Dean campaign.

Here's an example from Fight Hunger: Walk the World:

The image, text on the image, and HTML text around the image can be dynamically produced for a website as a Drupal block.
