- Anfy Mandel 2.0 - Copyright (C) by Fabio Ciucci 1996/97
-
-
- This applet can generate and animate a realtime Mandelbrot fractal.
- Remember, are needed both mandel.class and Lware.class.
- You must upload these 2 .class files and insert the <applet> tag on your
- html document to add this applet to your page.
- This applet is fully parametrized, so you can generate all kinds of
- Mandelbrot fractals you want.
- Here an example of what you have to write in the html (the things after
- the ; are comments with min-max values accepted):
-
-
- <applet code="mandel.class" width=150 height=150> ; Name, Width, Height
- <param name=res value="1"> ; resolution (1-8)
- <param name=xstart value="0"> ; X start
- <param name=ystart value="7000"> ; Y start
- <param name=xmin value="60"> ; X min
- <param name=xmax value="-120"> ; X max
- <param name=ymin value="60"> ; Y min
- <param name=ymax value="-120"> ; Y max
- <param name=numpal value="1"> ; Palette number (1-27)
- <param name=memdelay value="1000"> ; Memory deallocation delay
- <param name=priority value="3"> ; Task priority (1..10)
- Your browser doesn't suppor Java. ; Msg in no java browsers
- </applet> ; End of classtag
-
-
- NOTE: Don't place "; comments" on final HTML!!!
-
- Copy and paste in your html document this cleared and correct tag:
-
-
- <applet code="mandel.class" width=150 height=150>
- <param name=res value="1">
- <param name=xstart value="0">
- <param name=ystart value="7000">
- <param name=xmin value="60">
- <param name=xmax value="-120">
- <param name=ymin value="60">
- <param name=ymax value="-120">
- <param name=numpal value="1">
- <param name=memdelay value="1000">
- <param name=priority value="3">
- Sorry, your browser doesn't suppor Java.
- </applet>

-
- Here detailed instructions about how to change parameters:
-
-
- The size of the applet is determined by width and height tags.
-
- The res parameter determine the resolution: with res=1 pixels are small,
- but effect is slow, with res=8 pixels are too great but effect fast.
- I think the best choices are 2-4.
-
- About parameters for fractal generation, I don't placed limits to values,
- that can be positive or negative, place values at your own risk.
- here what does the values, that can be positive or negative:
-
- XMin: + scroll right, - scroll left
- XMax: + less width X, - enlarge width X
- YMin: + more height Y, - less height Y
- YMax: + scroll down, - scroll up
-
- Aniway this is not 100% correct. You are free to experiment with the
- mistery of numbers.
-
- Are available 27 different palettes, just select the one you prefer for
- your web page.

- Compatibility parameters:
-
-
- The "memdelay" parameter is useful only to run the applets without problems
- on some bugged versions of Netscape 3, that don't deallocate correctly
- the memory allocated, resulting in filling all the memory after a minute
- the applet is running. This can cause also a system crash in some cases.
- Last versions of browsers have fixed this problem, but if you want to run
- the applets on old bugged browsers too, set "memdelay" to low values, like
- "10" or "16", for example.
- But this will slow down a lot the applet speed, so you have to choose
- between speed (memdelay set to 1000 or higher) or slow compatibility with
- old browsers (memdelay set to 20 or lower).
-
- The "priority" parameter is useful mainly when you are running more than
- one applet in same page, and one slows down or hangs.
- If this applet run too slow or hangs because other one steal all the CPU
- power, try increasing the priority.
- Otherwise, if this applet runs well and others slows down, decrease the
- priority. Consider the min priority is 1, normal priority is 5, and the
- max priority is 10. Usually a priority of 3 is ok for single applets.

- Fabio Ciucci is the author and owner of this applet.
- You can use freely this applet to enhance your web pages. But since I am
- the author of the applet, I placed a secret window that will appear if the
- applet is clicked with mouse: it is external to the web browser, so it will
- not hit the design of your beautyful html page. This small window will
- simply show my name and ask for a link to my java applets page.. the user
- can connect to it or cancel, or hide the window and connect after visiting
- all your pages. I hope this credit part is not a problem for you...
- In any case, if link is accepted a new browser window will appear and your
- page will remain on the original window, so you will not lost the visitor.
- Consider you will use an effect programmed by me, without pay, for FREE!
