AppletPainter 2.0

AppletPainter 2.0 brings you a small yet useful tool which allows you to create complex applets without programming. Any single component from a library of components can be used on its own or in combination with other components to create the desired applet.

The overall applet size can be as big or as small as is required. Using the product is easy: Press the component button to select the component you want added to the applet and then press the property button to decide how that component will behave. Then press save to create the applet HTML and JAR file.

Right now the component library consists of 35 components, each of which has a range of optional settings. The library will expand with each new release of the product and there is no intention to charge for upgrades in the forseeable future. The main categories in the products components library are:

• Buttons and Lists including standard Java components and image buttons
• Static blocks of text which can be positioned precisely as you want them on the webpage
• Animated text including Marquees.
• Static and animated images including popup images and images that sweep across the applet.
• Microsoft BMP and animated cursor (ANI) images. (BMP images become highly compressed for efficient transmission).
• Swing components. At this time only the Swing Tree component is included.
• Components based on Suns Java Media Framework and Apples QuickTime for Java extensions.
• Clocks, Toolbars and Promotional components.
