Anfy Mosaic - Copyright (C) by Fabio Ciucci 1998/99
This applet can execute a tiling transition among any identically sized GIF
or JPG images.
This applet is based on the original code by Ibon Tolosana that is used under
a licence.
The sample images used are by Fabio Ciucci.
***************************************************************************
NECESSARY FILES.
As well as images for mosaix effect and a background and/or a foreground
images, the following 3 ".class" files must be uploaded:
mosaic.class
Lware.class
anfy.class
Plus, mosaic.jar for speedy loading on recent browsers.
**************************************************************************
EXAMPLE.
Insert the tag in your html document as follows to add
this applet to your page (Comments after the ";" symbol are code
descriptions and acceptable min/max values. They are not part of the applet
language):

INSTRUCTIONS.
The following instructions describe how to change parameters:
The images (GIF and/or JPG) can be of any size, but all image dimensions
must be identical.
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 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.
Applet size is determined by "res": "res=1" shows the graphic at natural
size, "res=2" shows it at double size, etc.
It is important to update the width and height tags, otherwise the applet
will not display properly on browsers.
You must set the applet size a bit greater than images size, since tiles
rotation needs extra space.
The Anfy wizard calculates automatically the extra offset needed.
The number of images to have in the tiling slideshow is unlimited, but
the minimum is 2.
If you want to tile between just 2 images, type:
If you want to tile between 3 images, type:
Repeat the code for each image.
You can change the displayed message for each image in the "statusmsg"
code. "Statusmsg1" is the message displayed in the first image,
"statusmsg2" the second image, etc.
When you purchase and register the applet, the "link1","link2", etc.
parameters will be enabled and this applet can become a mosaic banner as
follows:
You can place a URL link related to each image.
The pause, in milliseconds, determines the "hold" time for images between
the fades.
With "tileswidth" and "tilesheight" you can change the number of horizontal
and vertical tiles.
With "tilesteps" (values from 8 to 32) you can change the rotation speed of
tiles.
With "backr", "backg" and "backb" parameters, you can control the RED, GREEN
and BLUE components of the background colour.
You can optionally load a background image, placing its name on the
"backimage" parameter. This image must be the same size as the applet if
res=1. If it is res=2, it must be half the size of the applet, and so on.
