Anfy Deform 2.0 - Copyright (C) by Fabio Ciucci 1996/97


This applet can deform any GIF or JPG image.
Remember that are needed both Deform.class and Lware.class.
You must upload these 2 .class files and insert the tag on your
html document to add this applet to your page.
This applet is fully parametrized, so you can generate all kinds of warpers
you want. Here an example of what you have to write in the html (the
things anfter the ; are comments with min-max values acceptet):


; Name, Width, Height
; Image to load
; resolution (1 .. 8)
; Distortion value (0 .. 500)
; Distort factor (1 .. 100)
; Speed (1 .. 50)
; X mixing offset (0 .. width)
; X1 offset (1 .. 19)
; Y1 offset (1 .. 19)
; X2 offset (1 .. 19)
; Y2 offset (1 .. 19)
; File for scrolltext or "NO"
; Txtscroll y offset
; Txtscroll speed
; Txtscroll font name
; Txtscroll bold ("YES" or "NO")
; Txtscroll font size
; Txtscroll shadow ("YES" or "NO")
; Txtscroll color (red component)
; Txtscroll color (green component)
; Txtscroll color (blue component)
; Txtscroll shadow col. (red c.)
; Txtscroll shadow col. (green c.)
; Txtscroll shadow col. (blue c.)
; Txtscroll jump aplitude
; Txtscroll jump speed
; Memory deallocation delay
; Task priority (1..10)
Sorry, your browser doesn't suppor Java. ; Msg in no java browsers



NOTE: Don't place "; comments" on final HTML!!!

Copy and paste in your html document this cleared and correct tag:

Here detailed instructions about how to change parameters:


The GIF/JPG image can be of any size. If res=1, remember to place the exact
size of image in "width" and "height" tags. If res=2, place double values,
if res=3 triple values etc.
In fact, res is a sort of zoomer.

The "distval" parameter (0 .. 500) changes the kind of waves: smaller
values will create many small waves, higher values will create less bigger
waves.

The "dfact" parameter (1 .. 100) controls the distortion factor.
Smaller values causes higher distortions, higher values less distortion.

The "dspeed" parameter (1 .. 50) determine the speed of waves.

The "doffset" parameter is not easy to explain. Aniway place values in the
range 0 .. width of the image. Best results with values near the width of
the image.

With xv1,yv1,xv2,yv2 (1 .. 19) you can control the offset between the two
radial waves that mixing each other generate the distortion.

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 rus 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.

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...
