Panorama Setup Help |
| Procedure: | 1. | Open
or create meta.properties file inside the
folder containing your panorama photos/images. a) Insert new line: hasPanoramas=true for panorama applet display, 360° images. b) Insert new line: hasPartialPanoramas=true for partial panorama applet display less than 360°. c) Insert new line: hasPTFlat=true for flat images to have zoom function applet. |
||
| 2. | Generate Album. | |||
| Recomendations: |
You basically do not
have to define anything for full panoramas. If you
like you can define Fov values to match your panoramas
initial Field Of View. So if your panorama is actual image of 360 degrees, you do not need to define anything since this is default, defining PanMin to -180 and PanMax to 180 would give same effect. |
|||
| For partial panorama images folder that you choose to have zoom applet, enter PFOV value to 180! | ||||
|
For normal images
that you wish to have zooming ability set the fov
value to 5, or play with it to get what you
want. Flat images like maps are similar to rectilinear images with small field of view. Mathematically, they are obtained by letting the fov-parameter go to zero, practically any small value (~5°) works. |
||||
| Check to Crop Thumbnails in order to get consistent look of your whole album, othervise panorama thumbs are much smaller height due to different image ratio. Selecting this option, thumbs are created by croping image to fit thumbnail size defined on JAlbum main tab. | ||||
This is enough to have
everything work: |

- sets initial
horizontal field of view 12 ... 165,
default 70° - sets minimum horizontal field of view default 12° [telephoto] - sets maximum horizontal field of view default 165° [wide angle] - sets initial pan angle -180 ... 180, default 0° - sets minimum pan angle -180 ... 0 - sets maximum pan angle 0 ... 180 - sets initial tilt angle -90 ... 90, default 0° - sets minimum tilt angle -90 ... 0, default -90° - sets maximum tilt angle 0 ... 90, default 90° - sets auto pan value when applet loads. -180 .. 180, default 0° - recomended .1 to have smooth scroll |
||
| What you get: | - Clicking on panorama image and moving your mouse left - right, you scroll image. | |||
| - Moving mouse up and down, while pressed as above, tilts image up and down if applet window is smaller than the image. | ||||
| - Pressing shift or control key while keeping mouse pressed, you zoom the image in and out. | ||||
| - When viewing panorama images, press spacebar to show hotspots (images with links) for move forward facility. | ||||
| - Applet for panorama images automatically preloads next image ;-) to make browsing faster, downside is that first slide page takes a bit longer to display. Its on you to choose. This loading time does not afect first image display time, since it is shown when it loads. | ||||
| - Original Panorama images are copied to Slides directory after the slide has been created, so you get full size image for display. | ||||
