DancingText applet is very easy to use. All parameters have a default value and so there is no such thing as a minimum number of parameters which you must use. However you must have a Java-enabled browser such as Sun's Hotjava or Netscape Navigator 2.0x to use DancingText. If you have a Java-enabled browser and you wish to see examples on DancingText now, click here.
