Monday: Today I continued work on the website that hosts the applet. I added screenshots of the main functions of both the applet and application. I also wrote a brief introduction/purpose for the main page.

Tuesday: Today I updated Zoom In and Zoom Out so that they zoom in or out on a the spot the user clicks upon instead of always zooming in or out about the center. I then had to fix an error that came up when the user zoomed in too far and also changed the cursor to crosshair when the applet is waiting for the user to click on the spot to zoom in or out on.

Wednesday: Today I worked with Jane on modifying the Zoom In and Zoom Out because as it stood there was no way to return to original image. We tried to come up with ways to return the image to its original size, but have yet to find a suitable solution. I also added a Toolbar similar to the application and updated the website to include an explanation of the toolbar.

Thursday: Today Jane and I decided the best solution for out Zoom In/Out problem is to switch from Zoom In and Zoom Out to a Resize function. I wrote the Resize function to simply resize the image by 25-200% of its original size. This way, the user always has the option of returning the image its original size by choosing 100%. We had some difficulty resizing the panel while doing this, but eventually were able to get the function working well.

Friday: Today I updated the website to include the new Resize function and removed the explanations of Zoom In and Zoom Out. I also updated the screenshots to include Windows screenshots that show the Tool Bar. I then added a menu option to show or hide the Tool Bar because as of right now certain web browserrs (like Netscape) won't load the tool bar images.
