7 Applet
The Autoplot applet requires Java 1.5 or higher and that your browser has Java enabled. The applet typically takes less than 2 seconds to load if the background pre-loading is successful. If the background pre-loading is not successful, the applet will take about 10 seconds to load the first time.
The Autoplot applet has a number of features that are disabled, due to security restrictions enforced by web browsers. When using the applet, you cannot save data to disk or save a pdf or png file of you image. For more information on Java applets, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applet or http://java.sun.com/applets/.
If you are having problems starting the applet, see the Applet Guide or ask for help by sending an email to the Autoplot forum at http://groups.google.com/group/autoplot.
8 WebStart
When you start Autoplot using WebStart, the full Autoplot desktop application is installed on your computer. This first install typically takes about 60 seconds. Autoplot will appear on your computer as a regular application that you can start by clicking on its program icon. After the first install, subsequent clicks on Autoplot WebStart links will result in Autoplot being started from your computer, much in the same way that PowerPoint will be started if you click on a link for a PowerPoint document. For more information on WebStart, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Web_Start or http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/javawebstart/index.jsp.
If you are having problems starting the applet, see the WebStart Guide or ask for help by sending an email to the Autoplot forum at http://groups.google.com/group/autoplot.
