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. |
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. Note
that this parameter has no effect if the datafile already exists. If you want to
change the counter value in a existing datafile, email the webmaster. 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 |
