Installing the ImageRegionSelector Bean

Software Requirements

The ImageRegionSelector Bean requires Java 1.1. Applets made with this Bean require a Java 1.1-compatible browser or the JDK 1.1 AppletViewer. Similarly, Java applications that use the ImageRegionSelector Bean require a Java 1.1-compatible Java Virtual Machine.

ImageRegionSelector sample applets require Netscape 4.06, or higher, or Internet Explorer 4.01, or higher to function correctly. They also assume that the swing.jar (from Swing 1.0.3) is in your CLASSPATH.

The ImageRegionSelector Bean has been tested in these environments:

Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 95, with JDK 1.1.6 with Swing 1.0.3
OS/2 Warp 4, with JDK 1.1.6 with Swing 1.0.3
Java Plug-in 1.1.2.

To use the ImageRegionSelector Bean with the JDK:

  1. Unzip the file s_imageregionselector100.zip.
  2. Extract all the files contained in the ZIP file to a local directory.
  3. Import s_imageregionselector.jar into your favorite Java builder.
  4. Add s_imageregionselector.jar to your CLASSPATH environment variable.
    This step is not required if you are using the ImageRegionSelector Bean with VisualAge for Java.
Documentation is provided in the ZIP file. Open index.htm in your extract sub directory.

To Import the Extracted Files into VisualAge for Java:

  1. Open IBM VisualAge for Java.
  2. Import the s_imageregionselector.jar into project. You may want to create a project to hold the imported Bean.
  3. Add the ImageRegionSelector Bean to the palette in a category of your choosing.
    See the VisualAge for Java online help if you need assistance adding a Bean to the palette.
