          Anfy Mosaic - Copyright (C) by Fabio Ciucci 1998


This applet can execute a tiling transition among any identically sized GIF 
or JPG images.

This applet is based on original code by Ibon Tolosana that is used under
license.

The images used as samples are by Fabio Ciucci.

The following 3 ".class" files must be uploaded: mosaic.class, Lware.class
and anfy.class.

Insert the <applet> 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):

                             ---------


The following instructions detail 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 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.

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 Java 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:

<param name=image1 value="imfad1.gif">
<param name=image2 value="imfad2.gif">

If you want to tile between 3 images, type:

<param name=image1 value="imfad1.gif">
<param name=image2 value="imfad2.gif">
<param name=image3 value="imfad3.gif">

Repeat the code for each image. 

You can change the displayed message for each different 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:

<param name=link1 value="http://(name of link">
<param name=link2 value="http://(name of link">
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 color.

You can optionally load a background image, placing it's 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.
