The ripple free applet takes any gif and animates it to produce effects
like the ripple of water.
The program itself is very small and creates the frames of the animation
on the browser machine, transferring only the original image across the
Net.
The author would appreciate a link to his site should you decide to use
this applet. |

java applet
parameter values
- IMAGE
-
Should be set equal to the filename of the .GIF file you want
to animate..
- PERIOD
-
Defines the wave size in the animation.
- FRAMES
-
Increasing the number of frames will smoothen out animation
for large waves, but it will take up more resources on the
browser machine.
By
default the rippled version of the image will be animated on top
of the original, preventing gaps at the side of the image as it
shifts back and forth. If you want the gaps to appear then add:
<param name="bordergap" value="on">
If
you have a bordergap but don't want the image to disappear
beneath the edges of the applet, add a white border around the
sides of the base image. To get multiple animations easily, make
the height of the applet a multiple of the height of the image.
You can have as many images as there are frames in the
animation. |
