Parameter

Name

Description

Default

display=X

Specifies what to display.

display. A valid string can be specified with display= parameter to display counter, clock or date. The valid value for the string parameter X is counter,clock or date. The default display type, if none is specified, is counter.

display=counter

timezone=X

Display time/date of the specified timezone.

The parameter timezone= is only significant with display=clock or display=date. Use this parameter if you want to display the time or date of another timezone. The timezone must be specified with a negative or positive four digit offset from GMT, for example: timezone=GMT-0500 or timezone=GMT+0000 or timezone=GMT+0530. The counter is affected by our timezone's switch to daylight savings time. Periodic changes will need to be made to your HTML if you are altering the timezone and reside in a timezone which does not observe daylight savings time.

None.

tformat=X

Time format in 12 or 24 hour.

This parameter can be used to display time in 12 or 24 hour format. The valid values for the parameter X are 12 or 24.

tformat=12

dformat=X

Specifies date format.

This parameter is only significant with display=date. The valid value for the string parameter X is any combination of MMDDYY (Month-Day-Year). For example, dformat=ddmmyy, dformat=YYMMDD.

dformat=MMDDYY

ft=X

Frame Thickness

You can wrap the counter in an ornamental frame of X pixels thick. Use 0 for no frame. Values over 5 make a nice 3-D effect.

ft=6

frgb=R;G;B

Frame Color

Specifies the color of the frame in RGB (red/green/blue) format. Each color component, R, G, and B is specified as a value between 0 and 256. If you use ft= without a frgb= param, the default color is used.

If you specify a frgb= without a ft=, then the frame thickness defaults to 5. The color can be specified as a hex string or a name.Do not use a # before the hex string as you do in Netscape. For example, if you want to specify white in hex, use frgb=ffffff. You also can use a color name (e.g. frgb=blue) to retrieve the corresponding hex string.

frgb=100;139;216 or
frgb=648bd8

tr=B

Transparency On/Off

You can specify whether or not your counter image should have a transparent color. Specifying tr=Y means there will be a transparent color. It does not matter if the GIF files used for the digits are "transparent"; you must specify explicitly which color to make transparent. If you specify a trgb=, then you do not need to specify tr=Y. If you specify tr=Y and do not specify trgb=, then the default color black will be transparent. The valid values for B are Y, N, T, F, 1, or 0.

tr=F
No Transparency

md=X

Number Of Digits

Defines the number of digits to display. Any value between 5 and 10 inclusive are permitted. Padding with leading zeros is automatically done for you; longer counts are truncated to the given X.

md=6
Without padding

pad=B

Padding with 0's

Turn padding on/off in conjunction with md= setting. Valid values for the Boolean parameter B are Y, N, T, F, 1, or 0.

pad=N
Without specification of a md=value

pad=Y
With specification of a md=value

dd=A

Digit Style

Denotes the style of digit to use. Here's a list of styles. In addition, generic styles A through E are available.

dd=A
Green LED digits

comma=B

Display comma after every 3rd digit from right.

The boolean value of parameter comma specifies whether to display commas after every 3rd digit from the right. If you use this parameter, left padding with zeros will be turned off.

comma=F

srgb=R;G;B
prgb=R;G;B

Change a color of the image to a target color on the fly.

Any one color of the image can be changed to a different color on the fly. srgb stands for source color -- this is the color to change. prgb stands for pen color -- this is the target color. The values for srgb and prgb can be colon separated color components (e.g, srgb=255;0;0), or a hex value (e.g. srgb=ff0000).

source color -- this is the color to change. prgb stands for pen color -- this is the target color. The values for srgb and prgb can be colon separated color components (e.g, srgb=255;0;0), or a hex value (e.g. srgb=ff0000). srgb=00ff00
(0;255;0 green)
prgb=00ffff
(0;255;255 cyan)
With chcolor=T

chcolor=B

Change a color of the image.

This parameter enables the srgb and prgb parameters.

chcolor=F

sh=B

Show digits

Used to turn display of digits on or off according to the Boolean B. When sh=T, counter will be displayed and incremented, this is the default behavior.

If sh=F no digits will show, but the counter will still increment; instead of digits a transparent 1x1 GIF is displayed. The valid values for the Boolean parameter B are Y, N, T, F, 1, or 0

sh=Y

incr=B

Increment Count

Makes it possible to display the current count without incrementing the count. This can be used to examine the count for reporting or other purposes without adding to the count. Valid values for the Boolean parameter B are Y, N, T, F, 1, or 0.

incr=T
Increment the counter on each invocation

lit=X

Display literal

Makes it possible to display a given, predetermined string. The valid values for the string X are digits, a,p,: and -

None

negate=B

Negate the color

Makes it possible to negate the color of the counter digits. Note that the Frame is exempted from negating. Valid values for the Boolean parameter B are Y, N, T, F, 1, or 0.

negate=F
Do not negate

degrees=X

Rotate X degrees

Makes it possible to rotate the counter image X degree. The possible values of X is 90, 180, 270 and 360. Note 360 is meaningless as the counter will come back to the original 0 degree.

degrees=270
With rotate=Y and without degrees=X
rotate 270 degrees clockwise

rotate=B

Rotate On/Off

The Boolean value B turns on or off rotating. If you use degrees= setting, rotate is not needed. Valid values for the Boolean parameter B are Y, N, T, F, 1, or 0.

rotate=F
Do not rotate
