Here are some canned instructions for using AlexWarp, in case you need them. Note that AlexWarp was written in Java, so you must have Java installed on your machine before you can run it.

First, place text similar to the following in your HTML page:  

<applet code=AlexWarp.class width=190 height=190>
<param name=image value=billsmall.gif>
(If you had a Java-capable browser, you'd see a really cool applet here.)
</applet>

In the above text, replace "billsmall.gif" with the name of your GIF or JPEG file. Adjust the width and height in the coding as per the dimensions of your replacement file.

Download the Java warping program. Decompress the Zip file and you'll get two files: AlexWarp.class and ImageWarper.class. Place these files in the SAME directory as your HTML page and the image to be warped.

Remember:

  • Make sure you have all three files (AlexWarp.class, ImageWarper.class, and the image to be warped) in the same directory, and make sure they're in the same directory as the HTML file.
  • Java is case-sensitive, so make sure you preserve the correct case everywhere (i.e. AlexWarp.class and ImageWarper.class). The names must be exact.
  • You may need to put AlexWarp on a web server to use it. Many web browsers won't run an applet that's not coming from a web server.
