  11.  This package shows the use and the results of the WATER-command. Actually,
  12.  the algorithm is not finished now - but the results are pretty.

  14. 1. Description
  15.  
  16.  One or more rings are growing from the centre, this kind of wave
  17.  is unharmonic and 3D. The parameters
  18.  
  19.      -amplitude
  20.      -wavelength
  21.      -wave-source
  22.      -damping
  23.      -number of rings
  24.      -number of times wave-growing is performed (=maxsize of the rings)
  25.  
  26.  can be specified - there is a "best-guess"-function, too.

  30.   COMMAND WATER
  31. -----------------------------------------------------------------
  32.     Purpose: create a realistic water-wave
  33.               rings: how many waves are growing (1..3 looks good)
  34.               times: how often the growing is performed, after the
  35.                      whole process the 1st wave will have a distance
  36.                      times*wavelength from the centre (should be 2..10)
  37.       Usage: WATER(<objectID>,<frames>,<filename>,
  38.                     [<amplitude>,<wavelength>,<sourceX>,<sourceY>,
  39.                     <damping>,<times>,<rings>])
  40.    Examples: water(1,40,obj,12.0,24,10,-10,1.6,4,1)
  41.              water(1,60,ram:obj)
  42.  
  43. 3. Notes
  44.  
  45. The creation took me about 2 hours, creation means:
  46.  -object-creation using Dust
  47.  -rendering using Imagine
  48.  -converting and building the anim.
