- Optional Scrolltext parameters:
-
-
- You can optionally activate a scrolltext that will scroll over the applet.
- If you don't need the scrolltext, deactivate it by placing "NO" in the
- "textscroll" parameter.
- If you want textscrolling,write the text you want scrolled in an ASCII text
- file.
- Only one line of 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 parameters:
-
-
- <param name=textscroll value="myscr.txt"> ; File for scrolltext or "NO"
- <param name=texttype value="horizontal"> ; Tetxscroll mode

- <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 color (red component)
- <param name=TextColG value="255"> ; Txtscroll color (green component)

- <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 aplitude
- <param name=TextJumpSpd value="0"> ; Txtscroll jump speed
- <param name=TextSineAmp value="0"> ; Txtscroll sineshape amplitude
- <param name=TextSineSpd value="0"> ; Txtscroll sineshape movement

- 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 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 the size
- the text grows from start to end, using the "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
- 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. You have to choose between
- jumping or sine 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, 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 control how many degrees in a sinewave
- shape 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 the font of 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 a shadow to the textscroll.
- Otherwise, setting it to "NO", will make shadows "projected".
-
- You can choose the color of text with:
-
- TextColR = Red component of color (0-255)
- TextColG = Green component of color (0-255)
- TextColB = Blue component of color (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 color you want. Try manually experimenting,
- or use any paint program's color selector to find the
- Red Green Blue components of your desired colors.
-
- With TextSColR,TextSColG,TextSColB you can select the color for 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.
