- Anfy WormHole 2.0 - Copyright (C) by Fabio Ciucci 1996/97
-
-
- This applet can generate and animate in realtime a wormhole effect... or
- or a dot-tunnel if you prefer call it in this manner.
- Remember that are needed both wormhole.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 change many things to
- adapt the effect to your pages and purposes.
- Here an example of what you have to write in the html (the things anfter
- the ; are comments with min-max values acceptet):

-
- ---------
-
-
- Here detailed instructions about how to change parameters:
-
-
- The size of the applet is determined by width and height tags.
-
- The "dotden" parameter determine the density of dots: 1=full circles,
- the increasing the circle is divided, until value 23.
-
- You can change the background colour for best results over your web page,
- the RGB values are same as HTML tags, but in decimal values.
-
- The "xspeed" and "yspeed" parameters will control speed of X and Y
- scrolling.
-
- If you want the effect as painted in black under lighter background,
- simply set "negative" as "NO" and change backR/G/B to 255,255,255 or
- similiar. Otherwise with "YES" the effect is painted in white under
- your background (this time must be darker to have enough contrast).
-
-
- ---------
-
-
- Optional Scrolltext parameters:
-
-
- You can optionally activate a scrolltext that will scroll over the applet.
- If you don't need the scrolltext, deactivate it placing "NO" at the
- "textscroll" parameter.
- Otherwise you must supply the name of an ASCII text file, where you must
- write the text that you want to be scrolled.
- Is supported one only line of text, that can be long as you want.
- Remember to upload the text file too, if you activate the scrolltext!
-
- If activated, here are the parameters:
-
- With "textoffset" you choose the Y offset from the top: placing it to 0 the
- scroll will be placed on the top, for example, and placing a value near the
- height of the applet it will scroll at the bottom.
-
- With "textspeed" parameter you decide the scrolling speed.
-
- With "textfont" you choose the font of text. Don't choose a strange or not
- standard font, not present in all systems.
- The most common fonts are "Arial", "TimesRoman" and "Courier".
- If the required font is not present, the most "near" will be used.
-
- Setting "textbold" to "YES" you will enlarge a bit the font, otherwise set
- it to "NO" for normal contours.
-
- 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 nearest available size.
-
- Setting "textshadow" to "YES", a shadow will be added to textscroll.
- Otherwise, setting it to "NO", any shadow will be "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, do it trying manually or use any paint
- program's color selector to find Red Green Blue components of your desired
- colors.
-
- With TextSColR,TextSColG,TextSColB you can select the color for text shadow.
-
- If you like, you can activate the text jumping function.
- If "TextJumpAmp" is set to "0", any jumping will be shown.
- But increasing the value will result in text jumping: more aplitute, more
- high jumps.
-
- With "TextJumpSpd" parameter you can select the jumping speed.
-
-
- ---------
-
-
- 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.

- 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.
