­TÃfAnfyBlobs - Copyright (C) by Fabio Ciucci 1996/98


This applet can generate and animate a realtime "blobs" effect, a sort of
"light interference" between lightballs. This applet is fully parametrized,
so you can generate all kinds of blobs.

The following 4 ".class" files must be uploaded: blob.class, blobs.class,
Lware.class and anfy.class.

Insert the  tag in your html document as follows to add this applet
to your page (Comments after the ";" symbol are code explanations and
acceptable min/max values. They are not part of the applet language):

  ; Name, Width, Height

         ; Registration code (if you have it)
         ; Optional URL link when the applet
                                          is "clicked".
      ; Reglink opened in new frame?
  ; Name of new frame for reglink
  ; Statusbar message
                   ; resolution (1-8)
                ; number of blobs (2-8)
             ; minimum speed (1-15)
               ; Blob val 1
             ; Blob val 2
             ; Blob val 3
                ; Color palette (1-6)
            ; Sinus movements ("YES" or "NO")
            ; Star shape ("YES" or "NO")
             ; Negative colors ("YES" or "NO")
              ; Optional image over applet
              ; Over image X offset
              ; Over image Y offset
           ; Memory de-allocation delay
              ; Task priority (1..10)
          ; Fix Netscape 3.0 bug ("YES","NO")
              ; Min. milliseconds/frame for sync
Sorry, your browser doesn't support Java.    ; Message for no java browsers.
                                    ; End of applet tag

The following instructions detail how to change parameters:

Attempting to change the credits parameter will disable the applet.

To activate the reg parameters read the shareware registration notes.
In the "regcode" parameter, place the registration code you
purchased from the author. If the code is correct and the applet is run from
the registered domain name, you can use "link" parameters to link to a URL
when the applet is "clicked".

If you set "regnewframe" to "YES", you can specify a specific frame location
for the reglink:

"_blank"  : To load the link in a new blank unnamed browser window.
"_self"   : To load the link into the same window the applet occupies.
"_parent" : To load the link into the immediate FRAMESET parent.
"_top"    : To load the link into the top body of the window.

You can also set a custom frame name, such as "myframe1".

With the "overimg" parameter you can specify the name of an image that will
be painted over the applet. The best options are transparent GIF images.
NOTE: Animated GIF images are supported, but will be displayed as animated
only on latest browsers (Netscape 4 and Explorer 4 or newer).
With "overimgX" and "overimgY" you can center the image over the applet area.

The size of the applet is determined by the "width" and "height" tags.

The applet can be of any size. The "res" parameter determines the resolution:
res=1  results in small pixels with slow effect. With res=8, pixels are too
big but the effect is faster. Optimal choices are 1-3.

The number of blobs can go from 2 to 8.

The minimum speed can go from 1 to 15... optimal settings are low minspeed on small
bwidth and bheight, and high minspeed when the size is greater than 60.

Parameters  "bval1", "bval2", "bval3", etc.,  allow you to change the
intensity of blobs.

With "numpal" you can choose between 6 different color palettes.

Setting "sinemode" parameter to "YES" makes the blobs appear in a waving
fashion, setting it to "NO" makes the blobs appear to bounce.

Setting the "starshape" parameter to "YES" gives the blobs a romboid
shape rather than spherical shape.

Setting "negative" to "YES" the effect will display negative colors.
