Usage Guide:

The following are some examples of FunScroll usage:

Example 1

<APPLET CODE="FunScroll.class" WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=60>
<PARAM NAME=line0 VALUE="<20>Simple Text, delayed 20 units">
<PARAM NAME=line1 VALUE="<20><nervous>Same, but nervous">
<PARAM NAME=line2 VALUE="<20><sine-wave>Same, but sine-wave">
<PARAM NAME=line3 VALUE="<15><up>Scroll up, delay, and scroll down<down>">
<PARAM NAME=line4 VALUE="<15><up>Scroll, delay, scroll and delay<15><down>">
<PARAM NAME=line5 VALUE="<15><up>Line with line-break\ncontinuing here.<down>">
<PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE="#EED5B7">
<PARAM NAME=fgcolor VALUE="#FFFFFF">
</APPLET>

Example 2

Another example, with foreground color and font specified, as well as the delimiter used to separate tags:

<APPLET CODE="FunScroll.class" WIDTH=440 HEIGHT=60>
<PARAM NAME=delim VALUE="#">
<PARAM NAME=line0 VALUE="#down#You can specify colors as parameters#down#">
<PARAM NAME=line1 VALUE="#down#As well as Font#down#">
<PARAM NAME=line2 VALUE=
 "#up#Lines can also be splitted\n         like this\n    into a group of lines...#up#">
<PARAM NAME=font VALUE="Courier">
<PARAM NAME=size VALUE="16">
<PARAM NAME=fgcolor VALUE="#FF0000">
</APPLET>

Example 3

Here we make the text move faster (and not so smooth) by setting dx, dy and the delay parameter...

<APPLET CODE="FunScroll.class" WIDTH=380 HEIGHT=70>
<PARAM NAME=line0 VALUE="<20><down>We can move faster<up>">
<PARAM NAME=line1 VALUE="<left>In both directions">
<PARAM NAME=line2 VALUE="<left><sine-wave><20><Two-liner with\nsine-wave...">
<PARAM NAME=delay VALUE="50">
<PARAM NAME=dx VALUE="4">
<PARAM NAME=dy VALUE="3">
<PARAM NAME=fgcolor VALUE="#FF0000">
<PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE="#EED5B7">
</APPLET>
