Wave Bar

This simple animated graphic is the decendent of my first attempt to create some form of real time animation under Java. It started out just as a program to step through slices of the color cube, then I decided to try using sine functions to move the colors past each other.

Watch for some updates, on April first, when I want to heckle the local Microsoft rep, I ended up winning a copy of J++, so now I'm motivated to start playign with Java again, so I can see how J++ compares to CodeWarrior. I'll probably make a web page with my conclusions.

If you want to download it, Here it is. (Version 1.21 - 4/20/97)

WaveBar Parameters

Parameter	Description	Default Value
`sleep_time`	Milliseconds to try to sleep between frames	`100`
`time_step`	Number of frames to skip between updates	`3`
`gc_count`	Force a `GC` every `gc_count` frames generated	`10`

Sample Usage

(Default Values used for all arguments.)

<APPLET code=wavebar.class width=512 height=15>
<param name="sleep_time" value=100>
<param name="time_step" value=3>
<param name="gc_count" vlaue=10>
</APPLET>

note - if time_step is set to a negative value, the effect will run backwards.
