Rotated Vector Java Applet

Spinner Applet

Overview

The rotated output applet displays a vector image at different scales and rotations. There is a C++ program written for windows that can generate images suitable for use in this applet, its called Spinner, a generated vector image is required for use. The spinner designer application is included in the zip archive. Alternativley you could generate a file yourself from the file format documentation.

Examples of the Applet

Usage and inserting into a HTML document

Download the zip file below, and expand it into your html directory.
Adding an applet to your page is very simple, if you are using front page, you can add an applet from the menu. The menu you use in Frontpage is Insert > Advanced > Java Applet, other packages have similar dialogs. In the worst case you can add the applet directly to the HTML, an example of the HTML is shown below
The applet source is ClickBtn.class set the code setting to this value
Using the table of parameters below, add parameters to the applet to configure it

Parameter List and allowable ranges

Parameter	Range of values	Description
VectorFile	string - filenname	the vector file containing the image
XRotation	0 thru 10	the speed of rotation. 0 no rotation, 10 fast
ScaleSpeed	0 thru 10	the speed at which the image should zoom 0 slow 10 fast
ScaleMin	double 0.001 - 10.00	the smallest scale value
ScaleMax	double 0.001 - 10.00	the largest scale, if ScaleMin and ScaleMax are equal, no scaling is done.
XLRotation	0 thru 10	an addition rotation about the images x axis
YLRotation	0 thru 10	an addition rotation about the images y axis
LightShading	true or false	if simple light shading should be used, default is false

Actual Example for directly editing HTML

<applet CODE="JElriDEV.Spinner.class" WIDTH="150" HEIGHT="150">

    <param name="VectorFile" value="your file name">

    <param name="XRotation" value="4">

    <param name="ScaleSpeed" value="3">

    <param name="ScaleMin" value="0.03">

    <param name="ScaleMax" value="0.4">

    <param name="XLRotation" value="1">

    <param name="YLRotation" value="1">

    </applet>

Additional Notes

some webservers may only allow a restricted set of file extensions, the .JVF extension produced by the Spinner designer application may not be accepted by your server, if this is the case, simply rename the file to an allowable extension.
should you have problems with the applet, you can use the Java console to debug some problems, output is sent there when errors occur. Also note that some file errors are sent to the status line. If you have a problem with the control after trying everything on this page, mail me with as much information as you can.
