- Anfy Mandel - Copyright (C) by Fabio Ciucci 1996-99
-
-
- This applet can generate and animate a realtime Mandelbrot fractal. This
- applet is fully parametrized, so you can generate all kinds of Mandelbrot
- fractal effects.
-
- **********************************************************************
-
- NECESSARY FILES.
-
- Apart from an optional overlay image, the following 3 ".class" files
- must be uploaded:
-
- mandel.class
- Lware.class
- anfy.class
-
- Plus, mandel.jar for speedy loading on recent browsers.
-
- *********************************************************************
-
- EXAMPLE.
-
- Insert the <applet> tag in your html document as follows to add this applet
- to your page (Comments after the ";" symbol are code explanations and
- acceptable min/max values. They are not part of the applet language):
-
-
- <applet archive="mandel.jar" code="mandel.class" width="300" height="300">
- <param name="credits" value="Applet by Fabio Ciucci (www.anfyteam.com)">
- <param name="regcode" value="NO"> ; Registration code (if you have it)
- <param name="reglink" value="NO"> ; Optional URL link when the applet
- is "clicked".
- <param name="regnewframe" value="YES"> ; Reglink opened in new frame?
- <param name="regframename" value="_blank"> ; Name of new frame for reglink
- <param name="statusmsg" value="Mandel applet"> ; Statusbar message
- <param name="res" value="1"> ; resolution (1-8)
- <param name="xstart" value="0"> ; X start
- <param name="ystart" value="7000"> ; Y start
- <param name="xmin" value="60"> ; X min
- <param name="xmax" value="-120"> ; X max
- <param name="ymin" value="60"> ; Y min
- <param name="ymax" value="-120"> ; Y max
- <param name="numpal" value="1"> ; Palette number (1-27)
- <param name="overimg" value="NO"> ; Optional image over applet
- <param name="overimgX" value="0"> ; Over image X offset
- <param name="overimgY" value="0"> ; Over image Y offset
- <param name="memdelay" value="1000"> ; Memory deallocation delay
- <param name="priority2 value="3"> ; Task priority (1..10)
- <param name="MinSYNC" value="10"> ; Min. milliseconds/frame for sync
- Your browser doesn't support Java. ; Msg in no java browsers
- </applet> ; End of classtag

- INSTRUCTIONS.
-
-
- The following instructions describe how to change parameters:
-
- Attempting to change the credits parameter will disable the applet.
-
- To activate the reg parameters read the shareware registration notes.
- In the "regcode" parameter, place the registration code you purchased
- from the author. If the code is correct and the applet is run from
- the registered domain name, you can use "link" parameters to link to a URL
- when the applet is "clicked".
-
- If you set "regnewframe" to "YES", you can specify a specific frame location
- for the reglink:
-
- "_blank" : To load the link in a new blank unnamed browser window.
- "_self" : To load the link into the same window the applet occupies.
- "_parent" : To load the link into the immediate FRAMESET parent.
- "_top" : To load the link into the top body of the window.
-
- You can also set a custom frame name, such as "myframe1".
-
- With the "overimg" parameter you can specify the name of an image that will
- be painted over the applet. The best options are transparent GIF images.
- NOTE: Animated GIF images are supported, but will be animated only on
- latest browsers (Netscape 4 and Explorer 4 or newer).
-
- With "overimgX" and "overimgY" you can center the image over the applet area.
-
- The size of the applet is determined by the width and height tags.
-
- The "res" parameter determines the resolution: with res=1 pixels are small,
- but effect is slow. With res=8 pixels are too big but the effect is fast.
- The optimum choices are 2-4.
-
- Parameters for fractal generation: I don't place limits to values, and
- they can be positive or negative. Place values at your own risk.
-
- The following parameters affect the applet actions depending on the positive
- or negative values:
-
- XMin: + scroll right, - scroll left
- XMax: + less width X, - enlarge width X
- YMin: + more height Y, - less height Y
- YMax: + scroll down, - scroll up
-
- These descriptions are generalizations. You are free to experiment with
- a variety of values.
-
- 27 different palettes are available, just select the one you prefer for
- your web page.
