public class ColorParameter

extends java.lang.Object

Convenience class that contains one single method to decode Applicet and JApplicet parameter Strings to a Color value, which is quite commonly required (some IDE code generators even put such a method by default into your applet's java code).

We supply this class as a free service to all Applicet users. You are allowed to modify this source code, provided you move the class out of the be.arci package hierarchy.
