Setting up plugins in the pTolemy3D applet

If you use pTolemy3D as an applet, you can set the initial available plugins using the applet's tag param.

First of all you need to specify the total number of plugins to want to load through NumPlugins. Later, for each plugin you must specify using PluginType the class that implements it:

                    ...
                    <param name="NumPlugins" value="NUMBER_OF_PLUGINS">
                    
                    <param name="PluginType_1" value="PLUGIN_CLASS_IMPLEMENTATION">
                    <param name="PluginParam_1" value="SOME_VALUE">
                    
                    ...
                    ...

                    <param name="PluginType_N" value="PLUGIN_CLASS_IMPLEMENTATION">
                    <param name="PluginParam_N" value="SOME_VALUE">
                    ...

As you can see, to each plugin you can pass any number of parameters using PluginParam.

All parameters that uses indexes must start with 1.
