The 3D Clock applet is a simulation of a digital LED-display clock being rotated and twisted in space. It was inspired by a cool VGA-demo written by AXiS.
<APPLET CODE="Clock3D.class"
| |
WIDTH="aNumber" HEIGHT="aNumber">
| - the width and height (in pixels) of the applet. |
<PARAM NAME="FPS" VALUE="aNumber">
| - the number of frames to be painted per second. Default value: 13 |
<PARAM NAME="STYLE" VALUE="aNumber">
| - the style of the clock. Currently, this can be either 1 (ring-shaped clock) or 2 (twisted clock). Default value: 1 |
<PARAM NAME="12HOUR" VALUE="aNumber">
| - if set to 1, the clock will display 12-hour time (e.g. 10:25:33 PM instead of 22:25:33). Default value: 0 |
<PARAM NAME="PIXD" VALUE="aNumber">
| - the distance between two pixels. If STYLE=1, this is in vertical direction, for STYLE=2 in vertical and horizontal direction. Default value: 16 |
<PARAM NAME="PIXANGLE" VALUE="aNumber">
| - for STYLE=1, the angle between two horizontally adjascent pixels. For STYLE=2 the amount of "twist" between two pixels. Default value: 8 |
<PARAM NAME="RADIUS" VALUE="aNumber">
| - for STYLE=1, the radius of the circle on which the pixels are projected. Default value: 15 |
<PARAM NAME="A1" VALUE="aNumber">
| - a measurement for the distance between the monitor screen and the clock. The smaller this number, the closer (and larger) the clock appears. Default value: 5000 |
<PARAM NAME="ROTX" VALUE="aNumber">
| - the speed of rotation around the x-axis (in degrees/frame). Default value: 0 |
<PARAM NAME="ROTY" VALUE="aNumber">
| - the speed of rotation around the y-axis (in degrees/frame). Default value: 4 |
<PARAM NAME="ROTZ" VALUE="aNumber">
| - the speed of rotation around the z-axis (in degrees/frame). Default value: 0 |
<PARAM NAME="IROTX" VALUE="aNumber">
| - the inital angle of rotation around the x-axis. Default value: 0 |
<PARAM NAME="IROTY" VALUE="aNumber">
| - the inital angle of rotation around the y-axis. Default value: 0 |
<PARAM NAME="IROTZ" VALUE="aNumber">
| - the inital angle of rotation around the z-axis. Default value: 0 |
<PARAM NAME="COLOR" VALUE="aColor">
| - the color of the clock's pixels. Default value: #FF0000 (Red) |
<PARAM NAME="BGCOLOR" VALUE="aColor">
| - the background color of the applet. Default value: #000000 (Black) |
</APPLET>

The colors in the COLOR and BGCOLOR parameters
should be 24-bit RGB values. If the number is preceded by "0x" or "#",
it will be interpreted as a hexadecimal value, if preceded by a "0", as
an octal value. Otherwise the number will be regarded as decimal.
It's rather difficult to explain exactly what the different parameters do, so I would suggest you take the following example tag or one from the other example pages and then play around with the parameters.
As a first example, here's the tag used on this page:
<APPLET CODE="Clock3D.class" WIDTH=200 HEIGHT=200> <PARAM NAME=fps VALUE=18> <PARAM NAME=a1 VALUE=12500> <PARAM NAME=pixd VALUE=29> <PARAM NAME=pixangle VALUE=5> <PARAM NAME=radius VALUE=26> <PARAM NAME=roty VALUE=-4> <PARAM NAME=rotx VALUE=0> <PARAM NAME=rotz VALUE=0.401> <PARAM NAME=irotx VALUE=0> <PARAM NAME=iroty VALUE=0> <PARAM NAME=irotz VALUE=0> <PARAM NAME=style VALUE=1> <PARAM NAME=color VALUE=#00FF66> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#000000> <PARAM NAME=12hour VALUE=0> </APPLET>
