Displaying Still Images and more ...

  • New to krpano. I have some question on how to be able to display still image scenes along with spherical panos, and some other questions ...

    Questions:

    1. Is there a <image type=???> XML tag for displaying flat still images?
    2. When displaying an still image, is there a way to have the view to automatically zoom in by x% to a focal view, or be able to zoom out from a focal view to a full view? Also have scenes cross fade ( fade out current scene while fading in next scene).
    3. I currently use the Next Scene/Prev Scene to navigate. Is there a way to advance to next scene automatically? For example, if the current scene is a full 360 spherical, automatically do a full 360 pan, wait few seconds, and then advance to the next scene, ..., if the next scene is a still image, then do the zoom in/out described in step 2, pause for a user defined amount of seconds and advance to the next scene ...
    4. A krpanotools question - Is there a way to use krpanotools to work on a set of spherical & still images and output corresponding xml & html files? I want to be able to put all my spheres & still images in one folder and apply a command to the folder that will generate corresponding html/xml codes.
    5. Is there a way to develop my own custom panotools in an effort to reduce work-flow time? What language are the tools.exe written in? Is any of the krpanotools source code available and or some docs and instructions?
    6. Are there any 3rd party tools/GUI available that generate html/XML outputs for krpano?
    7. Is there a way to have an audio (music) control - a slider to control music volume?

    Thanks in advance ...

  • Hi,

    Is there a <image type=???> XML tag for displaying flat still images?

    a flat image can be simulated by a very small horizontal field of view (hfov),
    e.g.

    Code
    <image type="CYLINDER" hfov="1.0">


    the "MAKE PANO (FLAT) droplet" does that for example,


    When displaying an still image, is there a way to have the view to automatically zoom in by x% to a focal view, or be able to zoom out from a focal view to a full view? Also have scenes cross fade ( fade out current scene while fading in next scene).

    the zoom will be set via the "fov" setting in the <view> tag,
    see:
    https://krpano.com/docu/xml/#view

    for a flat pano with hfov=1.0 the fov will be a very small number of course,
    by the default the "fov" variables defines the vertical fov in the pano,
    but this can be changed with the new "fovtype" variable,
    see here:
    1.0.8 beta 9 - fovtype setting

    e.g.

    Code
    <view fovtype="HFOV" fov="0.5" maxpixelzoom="1.0" />


    I currently use the Next Scene/Prev Scene to navigate. Is there a way to advance to next scene automatically? For example, if the current scene is a full 360 spherical, automatically do a full 360 pan, wait few seconds, and then advance to the next scene, ..., if the next scene is a still image, then do the zoom in/out described in step 2, pause for a user defined amount of seconds and advance to the next scene ...

    yes,
    have you already tried the tools and the droplets?


    Is there a way to develop my own custom panotools in an effort to reduce work-flow time? What language are the tools.exe written in? Is any of the krpanotools source code available and or some docs and instructions?

    the tools are written in c/c++ and the sources are not available
    just start a tools on the command-line without any parameters to see
    it's syntax and parameters,


    Are there any 3rd party tools/GUI available that generate html/XML outputs for krpano?

    Autopano Tour


    Is there a way to have an audio (music) control - a slider to control music volume?

    it would be possible, but not directly at the moment...

    best regards,
    Klaus
