Here is the PlasmaX Applet. A Plasma based Applet (100% Real Time). And it's free. We had a lot of fun in writing this homemade plasma. PlasmaX is very easy to install on your web page. Many OPTIONS are available too. It is best viewed with IE 4.x or Netscape 4.x (but it works on Netscape 3.x - quite slow).

How to install PlasmaX ?

First you have to copy wave2d.class and plasmax.class in the directory of your web page. Then you have to fill the applet tag in the HTML source. As example the PlasmaX instance above is the result of :

What are the PARAMETERS ?

You can choose the width and the height of PlasmaX through the WIDTH and HEIGHT parameters.

You can add your own text through the text parameter. And you have to use # as a word (or sentence) separator (look at the example above).

You can the fonts and their size through the font and size parameters. You shouldn't use exotics fonts (It's the same problem as FONT FACE, I hope you know ... otherwise follow the example above).

You can choose the number of frame per second through the fps parameter.

You can choose the plasma (wavelet or elliptic or eye or fluidor devil) and the colors (native or water or rainbow or forestor fire) through the plasma and colors parameters. Here are some examples

	plasma : eye colors : native
	plasma : wavelet colors : water
	plasma : elliptic colors : rainbow
	plasma : devil colors : fire

The plasma : fluid and the colors : forest are used in the applet at the top of this web page.

Of course you can mix as you like (e.g : plasma : fluid colors : native, or plasma : elliptic colors : water ...).

Tricks !

If you do not want to display any text, simply put one blank (" ") in the text parameter.

Configurations of PlamaX are many, take time to find them out.
