You will need a Java 1.0 compatible browser such as Netscape 3.0 with Win NT or 95
to see these.
This is an experiment with data display based on a hierarchy of classes
similar to the DOS directory-subdirectory-file hierarchy. For this demo I
am using data on dog breeds and organizations in Texas. The applet is
reading in a specially formatted text file.
Use a mouse click to expand-contract a class.
When the left panel has the focus, you should also be able to
use keyboard arrow keys. If nothing appears after the data file is
loaded, try clicking on the left panel.
1/12/96 - The right panel can now show a picture. Look in the Basset Hound
and Bloodhound sections for the only examples right now.
1/18/96 - Faster parsing due to suggestion by Ian Leicht
Potential Uses:
Here is part of the input data file to show the simple format:
Hound:"The Hound Group is divided\n into those that hunt by\nsmell and those that\nhunt by sight"
Hound.Afghan Hound:"Sight Hound\nElegant & skinny\nAlways winning Hound group"
Hound.Afghan Hound.rescue_centex :"San Antonio rescue\nJuan Vasquez 210 337 7887"
Hound.Basset Hound.picture:"GIF=daisy1.gif"
