I have a question for Klaus, please. For all my panoramas I declare the FOV type as diagonal. That ensures that as a tablet is rotated between landscape and portrait views the size of the image on the screen remains much the same for both orientations, but is just cropped differently. My starting points are usually equirectangular images of 10600 x 5300 pixels and I am allowing the viewer a minimal amount of zoom. For a current pano the declaration is as follows - fovtype="DFOV" fov="97" fovmin=...
In iOS 12 Apple have implemented a security feature which detects rapid interaction with the iPad screen when in fullscreen mode and displays a warning message in the centre of the display which reads - 'It looks like you are typing while in full screen. Typing is not allowed in full-screen websites. "website-name" may be showing a fake keyboard to trick you into disclosing personal or financial information' The problem for us is that dragging rapidly to scroll a panorama while in fullscreen mod...
I am trying to change the speed at which a flat pano scrolls when using the on-screen left, right, up and down buttons. With a spherical panorama I would do this by changing the control.keybspeed setting to something other than the default value, but this doesn't seem to work with flat panos. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, please. Kind regards Andrew
That's interesting - since my original post I also tried upgrading from Sierra to High Sierra and the jerkiness was gone and all was smooth again. However, I have had to revert to Sierra and Safari 11.0.1 (restored from my Time Machine backup) as the fix which allowed me to run Photoshop CS5 in Sierra appears to be broken in High Sierra. I am gradually weaning myself off Photoshop and onto Affinity Photo - when I am sure that I can do without Photoshop I will upgrade to High Sierra again. Like m...
I have this week updated Safari to the latest version (11.0.2) on my Macbook Pro with touch bar running the latest version of Sierra (not High Sierra). Now my panoramas rotate more jerkily, with brief but noticeable pauses. Prior to the update rotation was silky smooth, as it still is with the latest version of Firefox (57.0.1). Has anybody else noticed this, please? Regards Andrew
Interesting. Back in May this year I decided the time had come to replace my elderly Macbook with a shiny new one. So I paid a visit to the local Apple store to have a play and decide which to purchase. The alternatives were both current Macbook Pro models, one with the touch bar and the slightly cheaper version without, both with Retina screens. I didn't really think that the touch bar warranted the extra cost, and I was hoping to save some money by settling for the version without. In the stor...
As a matter of course I have been encrypting my tour.xml and vtourskin.xml files before uploading them to my server. I have had no problems until today, when someone contacted me to say they were seeing a Wrong encryption! error message on one of my panoramas. On my MacBook Pro running Sierra I could not see the problem when viewing the panorama in either Safari or Firefox, but I could see the error when viewing with an older machine running Firefox with Flash enabled. I have re-encrypted the fi...
Oh wow, Klaus - that's absolutely perfect! Thank you very much indeed. I have gone for your third and recommended option, which does exactly what I wanted. Thanks again Kind regards Andrew
Thanks Alexey. I have tried that this afternoon and I can see that I can control the view parameters when opening a scene from a hotspot, but I am trying to change the opening view of a single scene at startup. What I would like to do is use the hlookat value as defined in the view section of the scene element only if the user is holding their device in a landscape, horizontal orientation. If they open the panorama while holding their tablet or phone in a portrait, vertical orientation I would l...
I need to load a scene with its initial position set to something other than the value declared in the view section of the scene. If I say - loadscene(get(startscene), view.hlookat=45, MERGE); - this works fine. but I would like to say - loadscene(get(startscene), view.hlookat=nnn, MERGE); where nnn is a variable derived as the result of a previous calculation, but I cannot get that to work. I have tried accessing the variable directly and via a get() instruction, but to no avail. What is the co...
Thanks, Tuur. I have never used calc: but I will from now on - it looks so much simpler than my way! However, and I'm sorry I did not make this clear in my original post, I am trying to get to the hlookat value of a scene other than the current one, as declared in the scene's <view parameters, Then I could set the hlookat value according to the ratio of stagewidth to stageheight so that the user always sees a pleasing composition when the scene opens. Thus the hlookat value when the scene first ...
I am trying to perform some math using stagewidth, stageheight and the hlookat of a particular scene. To help me see what I am doing I have included a temporary textfield plugin to display the results of the calculations and passing it the variables in an onresize event, e.g. <events name="showvalues" keep="true" onresize=" div(skin_settings.windowratio,stagewidth,stageheight); txtadd(plugin[stagesize].html,[p],get(stagewidth),[br],get(stageheight),[br],get(skin_settings.windowratio),[br],get(sc...
As a retirement project I have been putting together a website of 360ยบ panoramas and virtual tours of places of interest in and around my home city of Norwich, here in the east of England, about 100 miles (160 km) north-north-east of London. All the panoramas have been published using krpano, which in my opinion is the most powerful and flexible panorama software available, bar none. The website is a work in progress and I hope to be adding panoramas of more places as time goes by. Here is a lin...
Excellent! Thank-you Klaus, just what I needed.
I have a number of 'mapspots' on a map which each loads its associated scene when clicked, as well as performing some other operations specific to that scene. Each mapspot is contained within its own layer. I also need exactly the same operations to be triggered by another part of my xml. To avoid duplicating code is there a way I can simply send a click to the onclick event of the appropriate mapspot layer? I am a photographer, not a coder, so please forgive me if the answer to this is staring ...
Hello I am working on a multiple scene tour with a map, basing my code on the demotour-bkeller example in the krpano download. There are ten scenes in my tour and some of my mapspots are close together on the map such that, depending on the direction of view of the current tour, its radar beam may be over another mapspot. When that happens the radar beam may prevent the user from clicking on the underlying mapspot, depending on the order in which the mapspots were added to the xml file. Is there...
On each of my scenes for a virtual tour which I am currently working on I have a textfield giving info about the subject matter of the scene and which is shown or hidden by clicking a tool in the toolbar. I have the text for each scene stored as an 'infotext' field in the declaration of the scene in my .xml file, the font and text size set in a 'data' declaration, and I update the textfield plugin with the new wording when the next scene loads. That's all working fine, but I would like to highli...
Hello Hans. Aha, I see what you mean. I do see a delay of perhaps two seconds in the HTML5 version where the image file name appears again in the server log after I click my help button (I limited the download speed in the krpano Testing Server to exaggerate any loading times). In Flash, where the image name appears only once in the log, I see no delay and the image appears immediately I click the button. Perhaps in HTML5 the image is being cached to disk, whereas in Flash it is being held in RA...
But why doesn't the browser use the already downloaded image in HTML5? Is this a problem with the krpano viewer or with the browser? Is there a recommended way to overcome this? Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated, please.
Hans, you are absolutely right. The image is downloaded even with visible=false. I've just done a test using the krpano Testing Server with the server log enabled and the download speed limited to 64kb/sec so that I can more easily watch what happens. The help image is helptext_d.png, highlighted in red, below, and here is the server log after submitting the pano's html file to the Testing Server - 19:07:03 /test1.html 19:07:03 /test1/tour.js 19:07:04 /test1/tour.xml 19:07:04 /test1/skin/vtoursk...
