# Code examples<\/p>\n

### Getting the instance
\n“`java
\nprivate HologramManager hologramManager;<\/p>\n

@Override
\npublic void onLoad() {
\n HologramLib.onLoad(this); \/*Only needed if you shade HologramLib*\/
\n}<\/p>\n

@Override
\npublic void onEnable() {
\n hologramManager = HologramLib.getManager().orElse(null);
\n if (hologramManager == null) {
\n getLogger().severe(“Failed to initialize HologramLib manager.”);
\n return;
\n }
\n}
\n“`<\/p>\n

### Creating a hologram
\n“`java
\nTextHologram hologram = new TextHologram(“unique_id”)
\n .setMiniMessageText(“Hello world!”)
\n .setSeeThroughBlocks(false)
\n .setBillboard(Display.Billboard.VERTICAL)
\n .setShadow(true)
\n .setScale(1.5F, 1.5F, 1.5F)
\n .setTextOpacity((byte) 200)
\n .setBackgroundColor(Color.fromARGB(60, 255, 236, 222).asARGB())
\n .setAlignment(TextDisplay.TextAlignment.CENTER)
\n .setViewRange(1.0)
\n .setMaxLineWidth(200);
\n“`<\/p>\n

### Spawning and despawning
\n“`java
\nhologramManager.spawn(hologram, );
\nhologramManager.remove(hologram);
\n“`<\/p>\n

### Animations
\n“`java
\nTextAnimation animation = new TextAnimation()
\n .addFrame( “First frame”)
\n .addFrame(“Second frame”)
\n .addFrame(“Third framen” +
\n “Second line in third frame”)
\n .addFrame(“Last frame”);
\nanimation.setDelay(20L); \/\/ 1 second
\nanimation.setDelay(20L * 2);
\nhologramManager.applyAnimation(this.hologram, animation);
\n“`<\/p>\n

### Leaderboard<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“`java
\nMap leaderboardData = new LinkedHashMap<>() {{
\n put(1, “MaximDe:1000”);
\n put(2, “dream:950”);
\n put(3, “BastiGHG:500”);
\n put(4, “Wichtiger:400”);
\n \/\/ … more entries
\n}};<\/p>\n

LeaderboardHologram leaderboard = hologramManager.generateLeaderboard(
\n location,
\n leaderboardData,
\n LeaderboardHologram.LeaderboardOptions.builder()
\n .title(“Top Players – Kills”)
\n .showEmptyPlaces(true)
\n .scale(1.2f)
\n .maxDisplayEntries(10)
\n .suffix(“kills”)
\n .topPlayerHead(true)
\n .build()
\n);
