Generating Interactive Metagraphics Output

Enhancing Web Presentations for the Metaview Applet

Programming for the default configuration of the Metaview Applet consists of specifying the JAVAMETA device driver, specifying an HTML output file, and generating a graph. For information on programming for this default configuration, see Developing Web Presentations for the Metaview Applet.

You can enhance the default configuration as follows:

Specify a non-English resource file and font for Java 1.02 presentations. See Specifying Non-English Resource Files and Fonts.
Display and configure a zoom control. See the applet parameters that begin with ZOOM, in Metaview Applet Parameters.
Display and configure a play button to display multiple graphs or to produce an animation effect.
Set the background color by setting the applet parameter BACKGROUNDCOLOR.
If you specify an ODS style, do not specify a style that uses a background image (such as Gears or Astronomy) or specify the NOIMAGEPRINT option on the GOPTIONS statement.

Note that you can combine almost all of the available enhancements, including different drill-down modes.

To learn how to specify applet parameters, see Specifying Applet Parameters Using the ODS PARAMETERS= Statement. Reference information on applet parameters is provided in Metaview Applet Parameters.
