-
-
- This applet can generate and animate a realtime "blobs" effect, a sort of
- "light interference" between lightballs, but it may look rather psychedelic.
-
- ******************************************************************
-
- NECESSARY FILES
-
- Apart from the overlay image, the following 4 ".class" files must be
- uploaded:
-
- blob.class
- blobs.class
- Lware.class
- anfy.class
-
- Plus, blobs.jar for speedy loading on recent browsers.
-
- *****************************************************************
-
- EXAMPLE.
-
- Insert the <applet></applet> tag in your html document as follows to add
- this applet to your page (Comments after the ";" symbol are code
- descriptions and acceptable min/max values. They are not part of the applet

-
- PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS
-
- The following instructions describe the meaning of the available
- parameters for this applet:
-
- [Specify the applet and its size]
-
- <applet archive="blobs.jar" code="blobs.class" width=180 height=140>
- Here, you specify the applet name and its width and height in pixels.
-
- <param name="res" value="2"> ; resolution (1-8)
-
- The "res" parameter determines the resolution: res=1 results in small
- pixels with slow effect. With res=8, pixels are too big but the effect
- is faster. Optimal choices are 1-3.
-
- [Credit parameter]
-
- <param name=credits value="Applet by Fabio Ciucci (www.anfyteam.com)">
-
- Attempting to change the credit parameter will disable the applet.
-
- [Registration parameters]
-
- <param name="regcode" value="NO"> ; Registration code (if you have it)
-
- To activate the reg parameters, read the shareware registration notes.
- In the "regcode" parameter, place the registration code you purchased
- from us. If the code is correct and the applet is run from the registered
- domain name, "link" parameters will be enabled and the applet will be
- linked to an associated URL when it mouse-clicked.
-
- <param name="reglink" value="NO"> ; Optional URL link
- <param name="regnewframe" value="YES"> ; Reglink opened in new frame?
-
- "_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.
-
- <param name=regframename value="_blank"> ; Name of new frame for reglink
-
- You can also set a custom frame name, such as "myframe1".
-
- <param name=statusmsg value="Blobs applet"> ; Statusbar message
-
- The text set here will be shown at the bottom of a browser window, statusbar.
-
- [Blobs settings]
-
- <param name="nblobs" value="4"> ; number of blobs (2-8)
-
- The number of blobs can go from 2 to 8.
-
- <param name="minspeed" value="12"> ; minimum speed (1-15)
-
- The minimum rotation speed can go from 1 to 15... optimal settings are low
- minspeed on small bwidth and bheight, and high minspeed when the size is
- greater than 60.
-
- <param name="bval1" value="210"> ; Blob val 1
- <param name="bval2" value="35600"> ; Blob val 2
- <param name="bval3" value="35600"> ; Blob val 3
-
- The applet uses three types of generators and the resultant blobs are
- the complex product of them. The generators are named "Intensity" parameters,
- since they directly affect light intensity. You can freely change values for
- them, but I recommend you to leave them as default setting, which produces a
- good blob effect.
-
- <param name="numpal" value="1"> ; Color palette (1-6)
-
- With "numpal" you can choose between 6 different color palettes.
-
- <param name="sinemode" value="YES"> ; Sinus movements ("YES" or "NO")
-
- Setting "sinemode" parameter to "YES" makes the blobs appear in a waving
- fashion, setting it to "NO" makes the blobs appear to bounce.
-
- <param name="starshape" value="NO"> ; Star shape ("YES" or "NO")
-
- Setting the "starshape" parameter to "YES" gives the blobs a romboid
- shape rather than spherical shape.
-
- <param name="negative" value="NO"> ; Negative colors ("YES" or "NO")
-
- Setting "negative" to "YES" the effect will display negative colours.
-
- [Overlay image]
-
- <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
-
-
- With the "overimg" parameter you can specify the name of an image that will
- be shown over the applet. The best options are transparent GIF images.
-
- NOTE: Animated GIF images are supported, but will be displayed as animated
- only on latest browsers (Netscape 4 and Explorer 4 or newer).
- With "overimgX" and "overimgY" you can position the image over the applet area.
