Kairos Timeline Applet

Updates:

6/8/04:  Removed deprecated functions updating to Java 1.4 and released uncommented source code.


Original Release:

This is the initial release of a very basic timeline applet.  I'm releasing the source code, but it remains uncommented.  Hopefully I will fix that soon.

You must create an incidents file in the format of the one provided.  Incidents have
the following elements:

start_year end_year title
description
(as many lines as desired)
### //indicates end of record.  Do *not* use comments such as this in your actual file.
URL=url title_of_site  //optional (do not use comments in file)

The Kairos applet uses the following parameters:

bgcolor - the color for the applet background so this can be matched to pages.  You cannot
change the pen colors for the timeline display, so make sure that red, blue and black
text will show on this.

IncidentFile - the file name, relative to the page URL, of the incident file.

Kairos.html included with this package has an example of the Kairos applet with parameters.

You can find a working example of this applet on:
