Grab image - resize - iframe

Hi All,

Ive been trying to grab a weather radar image from a website which is

then put it in an iframe.. I can get this to happen but its too big and i get this

image

I tried using the image tool palette but I keep getting an error

"Error: Could not find MIME for Buffer "

Any Help appreciated

can you scale it using the standard html image height and width tags ?

Share your flow please (use node-red export CTRL+E) then paste the flow in a reply (formatted correctly to prevent corruption see this post for how to)

Ah right - yes you can't use an iframe directly as they don't scale the contents directly. Better to just use a ui_template and build your own img tag where you can control the size.
