AnfyBlobs 2.1 - Copyright (C) by Fabio Ciucci 1996/98


This applet can generate and animate a realtime "blobs" effect, a sort
of "light interference" between lightballs.
Remember that are needed both blob.class , blobs.class , Lware.class
and anfy.class.
You must upload these 4 .class files and insert the <applet> tag on your
html document to add this applet to your page.
This applet is fully parametrized, so you can generate all kinds of blobs
you want. Here an example of what you have to write in the html (the
things anfter the ; are comments with min-max values acceptet):

Here detailed instructions about how to change parameters:


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

The applet can be of any size. The res parameter determine the resolution:
with res=1 pixels are small, but effect is slow, with res=8 pixels are too
great but effect is faster. I think the best choices are 1-3.

The credits parameter can't be changed otherwise the applet will not work.

To activate the reg parameters read the shareware registration notes.
In the "regcode" parameter you have to place the registration code you
purchase from the author. If it is correct and the applet is run from the
registered domain name, you can use "reglink" parameter, where you can specify
an URL where bring user when the applet is clicked.
If you set to "YES" regnewframe, you can specify a frame where load 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.

Otherwise the frame name, for example "myframe1".

The number of blobs can go from 2 to 8.

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

With bval1,bval2,bval3 parameters is possible to change the intensity of
blobs.

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

Setting "sinemode" parameter to "YES" the blobs will move like waving,
otherwise setting it to "NO" blobs will bounce.

Setting "starshape" parameter to "YES" the blobs will have romboid
shape rather than spherical shape.

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