FOR THE EDITORIAL DESK

Bring the scale to the story.

Install this tool at LoM’s permanent /how-big-was-it/ path. Add the following iframe to the Lizard Man article. Change subject to preselect a different creature.

<iframe
  src="/how-big-was-it/embed.html?subject=lizard-man"
  title="Lizard Man size comparison"
  style="width:100%;height:760px;border:0"
  loading="lazy">
</iframe>

One catalog, every comparison

Human height comparisons use a fixed six-foot person. Wingspan widgets use a California Condor reference. Length widgets use the six-foot person shown horizontally. Each widget links to the full comparison with its current selections.

Add a subject to catalog.js with its measurement in feet, source, reported/reference status, and an asset name. Supply a tightly cropped transparent PNG in assets/. The tool reads the image’s aspect ratio and calculates a shared pixels-per-foot scale automatically.

The iframe URL must use your public LoM installation for visitors to access it. A private Sites preview is for review only.
