BMP image

This component will take any 8 or 24 bit BMP image and display it. With 24 bit images AppletPainter can achieve enormous compression when it creates the applet. Compression can often be in the 95 to 98 percent range making this a viable means of displaying a bitmap with compression comparable with JPEG at 75% quality and better than PNG.

Animated cursor

This component can unusually display animated cursors in a browser. The ANI does not have to be at default size and animation can be just as effective when the icon is made much larger.
