// This applet displays a vector field (f1(x,y),f2(x,y)) and integral curves
// for that vector field (although the integral curve feature can be turned off
// with an applet param).  The drawing of the curves is animated; they are
// drawn segment-by-segment.  In the default setup, a curve is started when the 
// user clicks on the canvas.  A curve can also be started by entering the
// starting x and y coords in a pair of text input boxes and clicking a button.
