This is a simple draw program; you can draw lines by doing a mouse drag operation.

The intent of the applet is to demonstrate some of the capabilities of Java. For those new to Java, I hope it offers a simple, enticing, though admitadly superficial tease.

It allows the browser to modify an image on the web page, demonstrating an (simple) interactive ability that is not available with older technologies.

This applet will be enhanced with image enhancement features and 3-d drawing capabilities.

I wrote the applet, it is derived from two other demo applets. More details latter.

The program does not load or save sketches, and currently the user cannot request an alternate image.

In the next few days I should be updating it so it can load any image the user specifies (by entering its URL) and the program will be able to scan for images off a specified web page.

The applet creates a detached window with that can be drawn on, and has checkboxes allowing the user to select any of the primary colors ( r,g,b, c,y,m, w, gray and black ) and also demonstates standard GUI widgets ( buttons and menus ). A seperate 'console window' on the web page receives a running trace report of the programs progess.
