Parameter |
Name |
Description |
Default |
display=X |
Specifies what to display. |
A valid string can be specified with display=
parameter to display counter, clock or date. The valid value
for the string parameter X is counter,clock
or date For counter, this parameter is not need as counter
is the default display type. |
display=counter |
timezone=X |
Display time/date of the specified timezone.
|
The parameter timezone= is only significant
with display=clock or display=date. Use this parameter
if you want to display time or date of another timezone. The
timezone must be specified with a negative or positive four
digit offset from GMT, for example: timezone=GMT-0500
or timezone=GMT+0000 or timezone=GMT+0530. The
routine to display time of various timezones are written in
a generic way. Therefore, the unix machines will not be aware
of daylight saving time because of the way the routine is written.
For example, if daylight saving time is on, to display time
of NY, the timezone will be timezone=GMT-0500 instead
of timezone=GMT-0400.
If the clock displays your local time wrong, specify your
timezone with that parameter in order to display the correct
time.
|
None. |
tformat=X
[new in this release]
|
Time format in 12 or 24 hour. |
This parameter can be used to display time
in 12 or 24 hour format. The valid values for the parameter
X is 12 or 24. |
tformat=12 |
dformat=X |
Specifies date format. |
This parameter is only significant with display=date.
The valid value for the string parameter X is any combination
of MMDDYY (Month-Day-Year). For example, dformat=ddmmyy,
dformat=YYMMDD. |
dformat=MMDDYY |
istrip=B
[new in this release]
|
Use of image strip On/Off |
The boolean value of istrip specifies
whether to use image strip or not. If you specify istrip=F,
the program will look for the individual digit image files in
the digits/style directory. The valid values for the Boolean
parameter istrip are Y, N, T, F, 1 or 0. |
istrip=T |
ft=X |
Frame Thickness |
You can wrap the counter in an ornamental
frame of X pixels thick. Use 0 for no frame. Values over 5 make
a nice 3-D effect. |
ft=6 |
frgb=R;G;B |
Frame Color |
Specifies the color of the frame in RGB (red/green/blue)
format. Each color component, R, G, and B is specified as a
value between 0 and 256. If you use ft= without a frgb= param,
the default color is used.
If you specify a frgb= without a ft=, then the frame thickness
defaults to 5. All the examples show ft=5. The color can be
specified as hex string or a name. Do not use a # before
the hex string as Netscape. For example, if you want to
specify white in hex, use frgb=ffffff. You also can
use a color name (e.g. frgb=blue) if the counter configured
to do so (look at the cfg file). Look at the color
name mapping database for some hints about color name
database.
|
frgb=100;139;216 or
frgb=648bd8 |
tr=B |
Transparency On/Off |
You can specify if your counter image will
have a transparent color with the Boolean B. So tr=Y means there
will be a transparent color. It does not matter if the GIF files
used for the digits are "transparent"; you must specify explicitly
which color to make transparent. If you specify a trgb=, then
you do not need to specify tr=Y. If you specify tr=Y
and do not specify trgb=, then the default color black
will be transparent. The valid values for B are Y, N, T, F,
1, or 0. |
tr=F
No Transparency |
md=X |
Max Digits |
Defines maximum number of digits to display.
Any value between 5 and 10 inclusive are permitted. Padding
with leading zeros is automatically done for you; longer counts
are truncated to the given X. |
md=6
Without padding |
pad=B |
Padding with 0's |
Turn padding on/off in conjunction with md=
setting. Valid values for the Boolean parameter B are Y, N,
T, F, 1, or 0. |
pad=N
Without specification of a md=value
pad=Y
With specification of a md=value
|
dd=A |
Digit Directory |
Denotes directory of a specific styles of
digits. Four styles of digits are supplied. They are kept at
the directories A,B,C and D respectively. Visit the digit
mania page for other styles of digits. |
dd=A
My green led digits |
image=gif_file
[new in this release]
|
Display this GIF file |
You can display any GIF image specified with
this parameter. The location of this file is determined by the
dd= parameter. All attributes of the counter applly to
the image. |
None |
comma=B
[new in this release]
|
Display comma after every 3rd digit from
right. |
The boolean value of parameter comma
specifies whether to display comma after every 3rd digit from
right. If you use this parameter as true, the left padding with
zeros will be turned off. |
comma=F |
srgb=R;G;B
prgb=R;G;B
[new in this release]
|
Change a color of the image to a target color
on the fly. |
Any one color of the image can be changed
to a different color on the fly. srgb stands for source
color, that is the color to change. prgb stands for pen
color, that is the target color. The values for srgb
and prgb can be colon separated color components (e.g,
srgb=255;0;0), a hex value (e.g. srgb=ff0000) or a color name
(e.g. srgb=red). The color name can be used if you configured
the counter to do so (look at the cfg file). |
srgb=00ff00
(0;255;0 green)
prgb=00ffff
(0;255;255 cyan)
With chcolor=T
|
chcolor=B |
Change a color of the image. |
This parameter is usually used to change
the default green color to cyan. That is if you specify chcolor=T,
and you want to change green to cyan, then you do not need to
specify srgb and prgb parameters. 1x1 GIF is displayed.
The valid values for the Boolean parameter B are Y, N, T, F,
1, or 0 |
chcolor=F |
st=X |
Start Count |
This parameter is used to set the initial
value of the counter to some number X. This is only valid if
you decided to allow automatic datafile creation. It is a bad
practice to allow automatic datafile creation, however it makes
site maintaining easier. The automatic datafile creation option
is specified in configuration file and can be changed at run
time. Note that this parameter has no effect if the datafile
already exists. If you want to change the counter value
in a existing datafile, hand edit the file. The minimum value
for st is 1. |
st=1
Count starts at 1 |
sh=B |
Show digits |
Used to turn display of digits on or off
according to the Boolean B. When sh=T, counter will be displayed
and incremented, this is the default behavior.
If sh=F no digits will show, but the counter will still increment;
instead of digits a transparent 1x1 GIF is displayed. The
valid values for the Boolean parameter B are Y, N, T, F, 1,
or 0
|
sh=Y |
df=data_file |
Datafile to store count |
Specifies the name of the file for storing
the count in. The file must be allocated to you as was mentioned
in the "Authorizations" section above. You can use df=random
to display a random number.
One special use of the parameter is df=RANDOM. This returns
a random number using the fractional portion of the host's
time of day clock as a seed for the generator. Unlike all
other WWWcounter parameters, the file name provided is case-sensitive,
except for the value random. Or Random, or rANDOM, etc.
|
df=random
if no datafile is specified |
incr=B |
Increment Count |
Makes it possible to display the current
count without incrementing the count. This can be used to examine
the count for reporting or other purposes without adding to
the count. Valid values for the Boolean parameter B are Y, N,
T, F, 1, or 0.
|
incr=T
Increment the counter on each invocation |
lit=X |
Display literal |
Makes it possible to display a given, predetermined
string. The valid values for the string X are digits, a,p,:
and - |
None |
negate=B |
Negate the color |
Makes it possible to negate the color of
the counter digits. Note that the Frame is exempted from negating.
Valid values for the Boolean parameter B are Y, N, T, F, 1,
or 0. |
negate=F
Do not negate |
degrees=X |
Rotate X degrees |
Makes it possible to rotate the counter image
X degree. The possible values of X is 90, 180, 270 and 360.
Note 360 is meaningless as the counter will come back to the
original 0 degree. |
degrees=270
With rotate=Y and without degrees=X
rotate 270 degrees clockwise |
rotate=B |
Rotate On/Off |
The Boolean value B turns on or off rotating.
If you use degrees= setting, rotate is not needed. Valid values
for the Boolean parameter B are Y, N, T, F, 1, or 0. |
rotate=F
Do not rotate |
