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 about 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 in 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 about applet parameters is provided in Metaview Applet Parameters.
