seem like it is just so close to finalize and officially release klaus!!!! :)
the viewer itself is almost ready now, but some work on the plugins and tools is still outstanding/in work,
more news about the beta 9 when ready, but it can be already used for testing of course,


Klaus.. for krpano 1.0.8 beta 9... did you put stage.quality = best? ..
yes, use in the xml:

distorted plugins

hi Klaus,

ooh ! maybe in time before the next release, (but please dont worry if time does not allow) would it be possible to allow plugins to have the same distorted feature that hotspots have ? I was designing a cockpit gui a couple of weeks ago and went to put in the buttons (plugins) then realized they could not be distorted, to look like they were part of the dashboard.

Just an excited thought *tongue*

Many thanks,

tom

but...
the buttons is a picture... right?

so i think you just can do that... and change the code that it doesn't fly out but does an action...


That should work... does it?

I'm not sure but it sounds logical to me..

Goodluck.

Tuur

Thanks Tuur,

do you mean skew the images in photoshop and then add them in as buttons ? If so I am not sure if that is the best approach but I will try it, although it would be great to try things like google maps distorted.

"and change the code that it doesn't fly out but does an action" sounds like you are referring to hotspots. I am not sure it is possible to have a hotspot appear in the main gui, instead of attached to the panorama ?

many thanks for reply,

best wishes,

thanks Tuur,

but you cant distort plugins only hotspots. Hotspots appear in a 3d space within the panorama, plugins do not, they appear on a layer over the panorama, so if you want a button from the GUI to be distorted currently I do not think it is possible.

e..g If i wanted to distort a button for the GUI using hotspot tag, the button would move around with the panorama, and not be overlayed like plugins.

I basically want to make a cockpit that is slightly angled and the buttons (plugins) will sit on this, I need to give them the same angle.

Hope this make sense, many thanks, and let me know if you come up with any ideas *smile*

cheerz,

mmmm..

so i re- read your question but i think i don't fully get it then...

cheers

Did you try to change the ath and atv in x and y with the distorted hotspots??

Friday, October 9th 2009, 6:22pm

yeah, I tried that long time ago, and basically the docs, do not seem to suggest that a hotpost can be used any other way than between 0 - 360 in the panorama. There are attributes the plugin has and vice versa that I would like to lend to each other.

Maybe this is just not possible, I will just have to wait and see what Klaus thinks,

thanks Tuur !

Hi,
ooh ! maybe in time before the next release, (but please dont worry if time does not allow) would it be possible to allow plugins to have the same distorted feature that hotspots have ? I was designing a cockpit gui a couple of weeks ago and went to put in the buttons (plugins) then realized they could not be distorted, to look like they were part of the dashboard.
I've already thought about that, but one big question was left - how to setup the perspective for such distorted buttons - a projection center and a field of view would be needed...

- using the pano projection would be one possibility, but in this case the button distortion will change during zooming...
- or each button/plugin has it's own projection center and fov...

I'm still experimenting with a good solution...

in the current beta 9 pre-release from above - there is the following possible for testing:
- use a <hotspot>
- set the flying to "1.0"
- now the hotspot is aligned in the center of the screen and can be rotated by changing rx,ry and rz
- a new attribute - "inverserotation" - can be used to change the rotation order
- the 2D position of this hotspot can be moved/shifted by changing the x/y attributes (using percent values is also possible)

e.g.

Source code

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
<hotspot name="arrow" 
     url="arrow.png"
     keep="true"
     flying="1.0"
     distorted="true"
     edge="bottom"
     y="40%"
     inverserotation="true"
     rx="60" ry="0" rz="0"
     /> 


best regards,
Klaus

Great work and idea Klaus, I will test with beta 9 asap.

Tricky problem.... hope you did not mind *evil* ha ha

maybe parent/child a plugin with a hotspot, but I would still not know how to make the hotspot center stage. However your idea with beta 9 sounds great though and I will test it and let you know how I get on.

Best wishes,

tom
