Adding Applets To Your Graphics And Images Software

An applet is a small application that runs within a larger program, usually as a plug in and applets are commonly used in describing small programs written in the java programming language that is built to run on a web page. From this definition of an applet, we can infer then that an applet image editor is an image editor that runs on a web browser in the form of an applet. Some examples of these editors include:
