HTML to be edited if desired and changes saved back to the original file.

more than one AppletPainter applet in the HTML file then the user will see a summary of
the file sizes associated with all the applets.

behaviour of the applet in a browser.
- View the current settings for the preferences. These are handled in more
detail in the Help documentation on preferences.
Setting the background
The background option in the menu bar allows the applets background to be altered in a
number of ways.
- The color of the background can be set to a certain value
- An image can be placed into the background which can be either used
- As a single image in which case it is resized to fit the applet
- As a tiled image which will be repeated across the background
- Or as an image which appears either on the left or right or both sides of the background.
- The last option on the background menu will set the background of all components in
the applet to the applets background color.
