ATM JAVA Spot Diagram Applet
I wrote an applet in JAVA to display spot diagrams for parabolidal
mirrors. It includes provisions for defining the mirror, including
spherical aberration and turned edge, and shows the spot diagram with
various display options. I wrote it mostly as a "how does JAVA work?"
exercise so it's not the most robust thing in the world, but I thought
some of the folks in the group might be interested.
To run it, you need a fairly up-to-date web browser that support JAVA.
Here's my current list as to what works:
Netscape 3.0.1: OK
Netscape 3.0 on a PC (Widows 95): works for some folks
Netscape 3.0 on a Mac: OK
Netscape 2.0.2: Probably OK
Netscape 2.0: No
Sun's Hot Java: OK
Internet Explorer 3.01: OK
