<AUDIOSCOPE>
Description
Use this element to display the audioscope, the graphical display of the
amplitude of the current sound over time. Note that since the WebTV Internet
Terminal can play stereo sound, the audioscope traces both the left and right
channels. If a web page plays sounds and displays the audioscope, the
audioscope will create an animated, visual image of the sounds.
Attributes
ALIGN
Use the align attribute to align the audioscope with the preceding text. The
align attribute accepts any of nine values: top, middle, bottom, left, right,
texttop, absmiddle, baseline, and absbottom. The default value for align is
baseline.
BORDER
Use the border attribute to set the width of the audioscope border in pixels.
Borders are drawn with anti-aliased bevels. The default value for border is 1
pixel.
GAIN
Use the gain attribute to set a multiplier for the amplitude display of the
audioscope. The default value for gain is 1.
HEIGHT
Use the height attribute to set the height of the audioscope in pixels. The
default value for height is 80 pixels.
The WebTV interface uses the height of the audioscope to reserve space for it
on the screen as it loads in a web page. Once that space is reserved for the
audioscope, the WebTV interface can draw the rest of the page. Use the height
and width attributes so that viewers can access text and links on a page while
the audioscope loads later.
LEFTCOLOR
Use the leftcolor attribute to set the color of the line that displays the left
audio channel in the audioscope. WebTV accepts color values in either #rrggbb
or color name format. The default value for leftcolor is
#8ece10.
See the page Using colors for a description on
specifying colors.
LEFTOFFSET
Use the leftoffset attribute to set the vertical offset for the display of the
left audio channel. A positive value for leftoffset raises the line for the
left audio channel above the center of the audioscope. A negative value lowers
the line below the center. The default value for leftoffset is 0 pixels. The
typical value is leftoffset="2".
By setting a positive value for leftoffset and a negative value for rightoffset
(or vice versa), you can impose a separation between the lines for the two
audio channels. This can give a good visual effect.
MAXLEVEL
Use the maxlevel attribute to specify whether the audioscope should clip the
sound according to the specified gain. The default value for maxlevel is
false.
RIGHTCOLOR
Use the rightcolor attribute to set the color of the line that displays the
right audio channel in the audioscope. The WebTV HTML interface accepts color
values in either #rrggbb or color name format. The default value for rightcolor
is #ce8e10.
See the page Using colors for a description on
specifying colors.
RIGHTOFFSET
Use the rightoffset attribute to set the vertical offset for the display of the
left audio channel. A positive value for rightoffset raises the line for the
left audio channel above the center of the audioscope. A negative value lowers
the line below the center. The default value for rightoffset is 1 pixel. The
typical value is rightoffset="-2".
By setting a positive value for leftoffset and a negative value for
rightoffset (or vice versa), you can impose a separation between the lines for
the two audio channels. This can give a good visual effect.
WIDTH
Use the width attribute to set the width of the audioscope in pixels. The
default value for width is 100 pixels.
The WebTV interface uses the width of the audioscope to reserve space for it on
the screen as it loads in a web page. Once that space is reserved for the
audioscope, the WebTV interface can draw the rest of the page. Use the height
and width attributes so that viewers can access text and links on a page while
the audioscope loads later.
