Defining the Applet

First, decide if you want an embedded display frame :-

<APPLET codebase="./" code="je3dview.class" archive="je3dview.jar" width="800" height="350" alt="A Java2 browser required !">

or a popup window :-

<APPLET codebase="./" code="fej3dmain.class" archive="fej3dmain.jar" width="500" height="350" alt="A Java2 browser required !">

If you are using a popup window, define it's size if not 800x600 pixels :-

<PARAM NAME="fwidth" VALUE="900">
<PARAM NAME="fheight" VALUE="700">

If you will be displaying more than one image, define the text-file listing the images (if not the default 'filelste.txt'):-

<PARAM NAME="filelist" VALUE="imglist.txt">

Define name of the single image or the starting image for a multi-image slideshow (if not first image) :-

<PARAM NAME="imgfile" VALUE="st07.jpg">

If a popup slideshow is to be initiated from a single, custom button (image) or from a composite thumbnail of all the images, define it :-

<PARAM NAME="thumbnail" VALUE="st05_thumb.jpg">

If a composite thumbnail has been used, define the number of rows and columns :-

<PARAM NAME="thumbx" VALUE="3">
<PARAM NAME="thumby" VALUE="4">

Finally, define the following parameters if the defaults are not acceptable :-

<PARAM NAME="slideshow" VALUE="9"> // 9 seconds slideshow interval.
<PARAM NAME="menu" VALUE="0"> // Hide the menu-bar.
<PARAM NAME="zoom" VALUE="100"> // Display image at it's native size.
<PARAM NAME="type" VALUE="14"> // Page-flipping with shutter-glasses (quad-buffered OpenGL stereo)
<PARAM NAME="swap" VALUE="1"> // swap left/right images.

The 'Start' button size is that defined by the applet's width and height values.
The opening and closing <APPLET> tags for popup mode will not be shown in most of the following examples.

<PARAM NAME="filelist" VALUE="imglist.txt">

A window 800x600 with menu-bar pops-up, displaying the first image listed in 'imglist.txt' in side-by-side format.

If you use the default 'filelste.txt' for your list of images, the above parameter is not required.
