Description
Time to start a revolution. This is the first of what I would like to consider my contribution to "Internet Graffiti". Why use the computer simply as a means to view blackbook sketches or photos of on-the-streets graffiti when the computer itself serves as a fantastic medium in its own right? I hope this series of projects inspires like-minded graff/tech heads to help create a new form of digital graffiti.

A lot of time and effort has been put into developing (from goddamn scratch...) the interface that you can use to tweak and control the features of this monster so as to make it as straightforward as possible. BUT, I do realize that there are several things to point out::

INSTRUCTIONS
To collapse/expand a control menu, click on its title bar. The control panels are somewhat transparent, but you can always get rid of them to see the changes you've made.

To modify attributes, drag the slider or enter direct values into the fields provided...
Almost all of the attributes that can be modified with a slider will be modified in real-time (have fun with that!).

::Glimmers::
Frequency determines how frequent glimmers will be created. The number displayed represents the number of frames between each glimmer (frequency=1 means a glimmer will be created in every frame)--A frame is 1/12 seconds.
To enter a new glimmer point into the rotation, click the "New Point" then click wherever you want the point to be.
For you trigger-happy glimmer-wanters, you can click the "Click4Glimz!" button and then (until you hit the button again) every mouse click will create a new glimmer (without entering it into the fixed ones' rotation).

Bubbles
"Bubbles" are created by a cursor that moves across the piece in a Sine Wave. You can create new waves of bubbles by clicking the "Create" button.
To delete a wave, click "Delete" and then click on one of the bubbles on the wave.

Some of the properties you can modify may be a bit ambiguous, so here's a quick description:
Freq - how many frames between each bubble is created
-Size - minimum size
+Size - maximum size
Offset - maximum distance away from the cursor
Speed - speed of the cursor
Width - width or "wavelength" of the sine wave
Height - height or "amplitude" of the sine wave
Also note that these properties (and the color) can be modified as the sine wave is creating bubbles--try dragging a color slider slowly as the wave moves across the piece

You can change the beginning and end point of the sine wave by clicking the "setCoords" button. The next mouse clicks will represent the beginning and end point of the sine wave.

Cool, I think that's it. Have fun with this and please comment on any bugs or if you have any criticisms.
