Getting the Source

The Java source for the applet is here. The code is written in Sun's Java 1.6. You can get Sun's java from here or (JDK) from here. The individual files are packed together and compressed in a JAR archive. To unpack it, call from comand line: "jar xf gpApplet2Source.jar"

Using the program Off-line

This gp program can be run as an applet or as a standalone application. If you would like to run it in your computer so that you can use it off-line, proceed as follows:

Applet

  1. Test java support in your browser here. Must be Sun's Java 1.6+
  2. Download applet jar file here and main html file here.
  3. Open main.htm in your browser.
  4. Or you can do it all yourself: download source code, compile it, create jar file and html.

Application

  1. Test java support in your computer (run "java -version" from comand line). Must be Sun's Java 1.6+
  2. Download applet jar file here.
  3. Doubleclick on the jar file. Or run "java -jar gpApplet.jar" from command line
  4. Or you can do it all yourself: download source code, compile it, run "java Approx" or create jar file (with Manifest file !).

    5. The advantage: You may resize the application window at your discretion and the layout adjusts. Also you don't have to wait to load applet.
