- Anfy Wobbler - Copyright (C) by Fabio Ciucci 1998/99
-
-
- This applet can wobble any GIF or JPG image of any size.
-
- It is based on original code by Jetro Lauha, which is used under a licence.
-
- Due to particular optimisations, the applet size must be a multiple of 8,
- in both width and height.
-
- Regarding image size, any size is allowed, but there are particular sizes:
- 32x32 , 64x64, 128x128 or 256x256 which are the best ones, because applet will
- run a lot faster. We strongly suggest to load an image with one of the sizes
- listed.
-
- ****************************************************************************
-
- NECESSARY FILES.
-
- The following 3 ".class" files must be uploaded:
-
- wobbler.class
- Lware.class
- anfy.class.
-
- Plus, wobbler.jar for speedy loading on recent browsers.

- INSTRUCTIONS.
-
- The following instructions describe how to change parameters:
-
- Attempting to change the "credits" parameter will disable the applet.
-
- To activate the reg parameters, please 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 mouse-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 GIF or JPEG image can be of any size, but we strongly suggest these:
- 32x32 , 64x64, 128x128 or 256x256, because applet will run a lot faster.
-
- The size of the applet is determined by the width and height tags, and can be
- different from the size of the image. Just remember to choose a multiple of 8
- for both width and height values, or applet will have problems and black borders.
-
- 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 faster.
- Optimum choices are 1-3.
-
- To configure the wobbler in order to display different effects, you have
- to change the many parameters it has, but unfortunately there is not a way
- to explain how all behave, because of the non-linear math behind this applet
- and the unpredictable results.
-
- The best option is to experiment yourself, starting from some of the examples
- provided:
