Presentation Graphics Applet

The Graphics class defines graphics objects which maintain and layout text and other data in an esthetic manner befitting a presentation.

You can manipulate the behavior and look of your Presentation Graphics objects by determining the values of the respective HTML parameters or by developing scripts which make use of the API properties and methods.

Creating Instances and Obtaining References of Graphics Objects

To create an instance of a Graphics Object you must embedd an applet tag in your HTML file:

<APPLET
CODE="lotus.graphics.drawApplet.class" NAME="myPresentation"
CODEBASE="../../.."
WIDTH=500 HEIGHT=500>
</APPLET>

You can set the values of the HTML paramaters within the APPLET tag as follows:

<APPLET CODE="lotus.graphics.drawApplet.class"...>
<PARAM NAME="name of parameter to be set" VALUE="value parameter is to hold">
<PARAM NAME="parameter 2" VALUE="value of parameter 2">

<PARAM NAME="parameter n" VALUe="value of parameter n">
</APPLET>

In order to obtain a reference to the presentation graphics object using JavaScript, after instanciating as seen above use the following code:

var presentationGraphics = document.myPresentation
