Java Mage: Kinemages in your web browser

Now featuring truly interactive web graphics with kinemages running in a Java version of Mage. The windows in this section are "kinemages" (kinetic images) and require Java enabled in your browser. To rotate in 3-D, drag slowly with the mouse. To identify a point, click on it; to measure a distance, click on each end point. Turn objects on or off, or animate, with the labeled buttons.

Java Mage reads normal kinemage files and has much of the same functionality of other Mage versions, such as preset views, animation, zoom, zclip, center, flat scrolling, drawing lines, etc. (Type 'h' for more help.) Java Mage does not have the on-line editing functions for authoring kinemages.

Instead of running as a stand-alone application, Java Mage is called by the html in a Web page. The text explanations are written on the page, rather than being shown in a Mage text window. Multiple related kinemages are not put into a single file but are called successively as separate Java windows. Follow the links below, to see more complex examples, or for directions on how to put interactive Java kinemages onto your own web pages.
