Spinner Designer

[home]

The spinner designer is a Visual C++ application, its used to generate a 2d coordinate file for the spinner applet. This application can now be downloaded as part of the Spinner applet zip file.

Here's a snapshot of the Application:

How do I use it?
  1. Just select to draw a polyline or polygon using the radio buttons to the left
  2. Select the foreground and background colour
  3. Draw points of the shape you require by left clicking, finish the shape by right clicking
  4. Click the Generate button to create a file for use with the spinner applet
  5. Click the Clear button to clear the diagram and re-start
  6. Click the Test button to see your drawing spin around
  7. Re-sample is not implemented yet
What does it do?
The spinner designer is used to create two dimensional vector drawings that can be loaded into a java applet (that I have presently almost got working) and be rotated. The tool allows you to draw an image at a rotation of 0 degrees and whatever scale you like, once you are happy with your drawing, press the Generate button to create a file of coordinates in a format suitable for loading into the applet. At the moment this Application does not support Serialization, therefore once drawn and Generated you cannot get them back!
