9.3 VMarket parameters and preset in HTML


Slide : [ || VMARKET tree - names || JAVA tutorial ]

* Problem defining selectors.

The selectors appear on the top of VMARKET plot window and allow you to define the type of problem you want to solve. Careful, white spaces here do count!

* Editable run parameters.

The following list of parameters are first preset to default values, then modified according to the TAG parameters (below) and can be modified at run time by double-clicking the name appearing on the left of the applet: Only the parameters specified in the applet TAG are initially displayed; switch from Double-click below: to Show all parameters to get a complete list

* Applet TAG modifiers.

The VMARKET applet is included an HTML document with a specific header: the first couple of lines specify the path name of the executable, the position and the size of the window where the applet will appear. The TAG modifiers that follow defines the list of parameters that will be displayed and attributes default values when the applet is first initialized
