The Genealogical Creatures Tree

This is my newest Applet. I have worked on it really long (4 days ;) ) and I'm firmly convinced that it is good!! This Applet may be used by every other person who likes Creatures.
If you want to use it just download it at my Download Page. 


I've made the Applet in a way that every option can be defined as a Parameter in the HTML file. The following
table shows these Parameters and their valid values: 






Parameter 

Description 

Valid Value 





Width

Height 		

Reports the width and height to the Applet. 

Numbers. 





cols

rows 		

Specifies the nuber of collums and rows.

This makes different fields out of the Applet.

These fields have got numbers. They are

count from the left to the right and from the

top to the bottom. The first number is "0".

So if you have 3 rows and 3 collums,

you've got the fields 0 - 8. 		

Numbers. 





Title 

Specifies the title of the Applet. 

Numbers

Letters 		





Author 

Specifies the Applet-Author. 

Numbers

Letters 		





Update

Numbers. 





FieldX 

The X stands for the number of any

field as explained at cols / rows.

This parameter must be activated to get

the options from the other Parameters.

Every Parameter has to be initialised

with this Parameter.

Most of these Parameters are modal so you don't have to use them. However, it looks better if you
use them. If you don't want to, the program sets the values to "n/a" or "unknown". Using an
invalid Parameter Tag in the HTML file will set the value to "invalid Parameter".





The following example is the Parameter Tag which i've used to create Susanna:



<param name="Width" value=400>

<param name="Height" value=400>

<param name="cols" value="6">

<param name="rows" value="3">

<param name="Field1Comment" value="Susanna isn't very
    smart. She has got some problems with getting something to eat or to follow
    my commands. I suppose, I've made some faults with her education but she
    was my first Norn so I hope her children will be a bit smarter.">

<param name="Field1MorePic1" value="susu1.jpg">

<param name="Field1MorePic1Comment" value="I've taken
    this picture just after Susanna was born. She is not older than about 1
    minute and I was really happy, that my first Norn was looking so pretty.">

<param name="Field1MorePic2Comment" value="This is
    the most actual photo of Susanna. Isn't she beautiful?!? But I've really
    made some faults with her education so she identifies each carrot as a
    citron and such things.">
