Minkowski Embedding

Minkowski shows the Lorentz transformation of the spacetime grid.

Minkowski is embedded using the following html tag:

<applet
  codebase="../classes/"
  archive="Minkowski4_.jar,STools4.jar"
  code="minkowski.Minkowski.class"
  name="minkowski"
  width="600"
  height="400">

<param name="Speed" value="0.5" />
<param name="Mode" value="Lorentz" />
<param name="ShowControls" value="true" />
<param name="Resources" value="minkowski_en.rc" />
</applet>

Minkowski Parameters

Mode  string  The transformation type: Lorentz, Galilean, or Rotation.
Speed  double  Speed of the moving frame in units of c=1.
ShowControls  boolean  True to show simple user interface.

STools Parameters

AppletNames  string  A comma delimited list of applet names occurring within this html page. (See OnLoad.)
Debug  int  Enables debugging messages in Java console; 0 = no messages, 255 = verbose messages.
OnLoad  string  A JavaScript function that will be invoked using LiveConnect after all applets have been loaded.  (See AppletNames.)
Resources  string  A file containing translations of internal text such as buttons and labels.
