Custom Rotation Speed and Direction

The applet rotates similar with the hands of a clock: in steps. Steps can be larger or smaller (in pixels). The smoothest rotation is done with a step of 1 pixel. For other movement effects, larger steps can be used.

Similar with the hands of the clock, after each step, the applet waits a period then moves again to next step. This period we called delay and is measured in miliseconds.

By combining step with delay you can control speed and smoothness.

Applet Parameters for rotation are:

• delay: the period to wait before each movement of the ticker (in miliseconds)
• step: the space in pixels the applet rotates in one step
• tickerDirection: "lr" ("lr" left-to-right "rl" right-to-left)

Sample code:

<param name="delay" value = "30">
<param name="step" value = "1">
<param name="tickerDirection" value="rl">
