- Optional Scrolltext parameters:
-
-
- You can optionally activate a scrolltext that will scroll over an applet.
- If you don't need the scrolltext, deactivate this feature by placing "NO"
- in the "textscroll" parameter.
-
- If you want textscrolling, write a text you want scrolled in an ASCII text
- file. Only one line of a text is supported in "horizontal" mode, but it can
- be as long as you want.
-
- In "vertical" mode, be sure not to exceed the width of the applet with the
- single lines of text.
-
- Remember to upload the text file to your site if you activate the scrolltext;
- otherwise you will get a message like "<HTML>404 not found"!
-
- If activated, here are the available parameters:
-
-
- <param name="textscroll" value="myscr.txt"> ; File for scrolltext or "NO"
- <param name="texttype" value="horizontal"> ; Tetxscroll mode
- <param name="textvspace" value="0"> ; Vertical spacing in "vertical"
- <param name="textminfont" value="8"> ; Min fontsize in "zooming"
- <param name="textmaxfont" value="172"> ; Max fontsize in "zooming"
- <param name="textoffset" value="140"> ; Txtscroll y offset in "horizontal"
- <param name="textspeed" value="1"> ; Txtscroll speed
- <param name="textfont" value="Helvetica"> ; Txtscroll font name
- <param name="textbold" value="NO"> ; Txtscroll bold ("YES" or "NO")
- <param name="textitalic" value="NO"> ; Txtscroll italic ("YES" or "NO")
- <param name="textsize" value="24"> ; Txtscroll font size
- <param name="textshadow" value="YES"> ; Txtscroll shadow ("YES" or "NO")
- <param name="TextColR" value="200"> ; Txtscroll colour (red component)
- <param name="TextColG" value="255"> ; Txtscroll colour (green component)
- <param name="TextColB" value="190"> ; Txtscroll colour (blue component)
- <param name="TextSColR" value="20"> ; Txtscroll shadow col. (red c.)
- <param name="TextSColG" value="20"> ; Txtscroll shadow col. (green c.)
- <param name="TextSColB" value="50"> ; Txtscroll shadow col. (blue c.)
- <param name="TextJumpAmp" value="0"> ; Txtscroll jump amplitude
- <param name="TextJumpSpd" value="0"> ; Txtscroll jump speed
- <param name="TextSineAmp" value="0"> ; Txtscroll sineshape amplitude
- <param name="TextSineSpd" value="0"> ; Txtscroll sineshape movement
- <param name="TextSineAngle" value="0"> ; Txtscroll sineangle / pixel

- Detailed instructions:
-
- PART 1: TEXTTYPE PARAMETERS
-
- The "texttype" parameter determines the scrolltext mode.
- There are 4 modes:
-
- "horizontal" -> This scroller is a horizontal line sliding right to left.
-
- "vertical" -> This scroller is made by lines that scroll upward,
- like the final credits on movies.
-
- "zooming" -> Text zooms in the center from far away to very close.
-
- "invzooming" -> Text zooms in the center from very close to far away.
-
-
- - TEXTTYPE = VERTICAL
-
- If texttype="vertical", you can determine the vertical spacing between
- lines with the "textvspace" parameter.
-
-
- - TEXTTYPE = ZOOMING or INVZOOMING
-
- If texttype="zooming" or "invzooming", you can determine both the maximum
- and minimum text font size with "textminfont" and "textmaxfont" parameters.
-
-
- - TEXTTYPE = HORIZONTAL
-
- If texttype="horizontal", with "textoffset" you can choose the Y offset
- from the top. Placing it at 0, the scroll will be placed on the top, and
- placing a value near the height of the applet will scroll the text at the
- bottom.
-
- Optionally, you can activate the text jumping function, or the text sine
- function, but you can't activate both effects simultaneously. You have to
- choose between jumping or sine curve for the best effect on your page.
-
- If "TextJumpAmp" is set to "0", no jumping will be shown. Increasing the
- value will result in text jumping: more amplitute, or say, more high jumps.
- With the "TextJumpSpd" parameter you can select the jumping speed.
-
- The alternative function is to activate the sine scroll function.
- If "TextSineAmp" is set to 0, no sine distortion will be generated.
- Increasing the value will result in a text waving effect. The higher the
- amplitude, the more waving.
-
- With the "TextSineSpd" parameter you can select the speed of the wave.
- With the "TextSineAngle" parameter you set how many degrees in a sinewave
- the text will be deformed for each pixel. A higher value gives more
- distortion.
-
-
- PART 2: COMMON PARAMETERS
-
-
- The "textspeed" parameter determines the scrolling speed.
-
- With "textfont" you choose a font of the text. Don't choose a strange or
- non-standard font which is not common to all systems.
-
- The usable fonts are "Courier", "Dialog", "Helvetica" and "TimesRoman".
- If the required font is not present, the most "near" will be used.
-
- Setting "textbold" to "YES" will enlarge the font a bit. Set it to "NO"
- for normal contours. With "textspeed" parameter you decide the scrolling
- speed.
-
- Setting "textitalic" to "YES" will apply italic style to the font.
- Set to "NO" to disable this feature.
-
- With "textsize" you can change the size of text font.
- The most common sizes are: 8,9,10,11,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,36,48,72.
- Intermediate values will be scaled to the nearest available size.
-
- Setting "textshadow" to "YES" will add shadow to the textscroll.
- Otherwise, setting it to "NO" will make shadow "projected".
-
- You can choose the colour of text with:
-
- TextColR = Red component of colour (0-255)
- TextColG = Green component of colour (0-255)
- TextColB = Blue component of colour (0-255)
-
- For example, 0,0,0 is black, 255,255,255 is white, 255,0,0 is red,
- 255,255,0 is yellow, 128,128,128 is grey.
- You can compose any colour you want. Try manually experimenting,
- or use any paint program's colour selector to find the Red Green Blue
- components of your desired colour.
-
- With "TextSColR", "TextSColG", "TextSColB", you can select the colour
- for the text shadow.
-
- NOTE: If you want to display special characters, such as Japanese,
- Chinese or Korean, this will work only from versions 4 of Netscape and
- Explorer, not on releases 3 and older.
