PlayerStats
Setting parameters
Parameters are used to give input to the applet. They can also be used to control the look and appearance of PlayerStats. The only parameter that has to be set is Datafile. All the others can be skipped. If a parameter is not set it will (sometimes) be given a default value.
1. Datafile
- Description
- The name of the file that contains the data about the matches (here is a description of the
datafile). The filename is relative to the HTML-document.
- Default
- -
- Example
- <PARAM NAME=Datafile VALUE=myTeam.txt>
<PARAM NAME=Datafile VALUE=hockey/nhl/toronto.txt>
<PARAM NAME=Datafile VALUE=../../files/myData.txt>
2. Image
- Description
- The name of the image that is to be used as a background image. As with Datafile the name of the image file is relative to the HTML-document. The image format should be either GIF or JPEG.
- Default
- -
- Example
- <PARAM NAME=Image VALUE="myPic.gif">
<PARAM NAME=Image VALUE=pics/toronto.jpg>
<PARAM NAME=Image VALUE=../../files/bgpic.gif>
3. HideBorder
- Description
- Give the value True if you don't
want a border drawn around the applet.
- Default
- False
- Example
- <PARAM NAME=HideBorder VALUE=True>
Color parameters
The following parameters can be used to change the colors of PlayerStats. Color values are specified in the same way as in HTML, i.e. in hexcode. It's important to know that these parameters can behave very differently on different platforms and with different browsers. So if you use these parameters it's important that you test the applet on a couple of different systems because what might look nice on your system might not look so nice on other systems.

- Sets the background color.
- Default
- White

- <PARAM NAME=BackgroundColor VALUE=1a34ef>

- Default
- Black

7. MenuTextColor

- Default

8. LabelColor
