I've created a text hotspot as follows:


<hotspot name="store-room"
type="text"
ath="270" atv="-15" edge="center"
distorted="false"
renderer="css3d"
html="Store Room[br] [br]Code C1234X"
css="font-family:Tahoma; font-size:17px; color:#0000ff;"
vcenter="false"
padding="2"
wordwrap="true"
selectable="false"
bg="true"
bgcolor="0xFFFFFF"
bgalpha="1.0"
bgborder="0"
bgroundedge="0"
bgshadow=""
txtshadow=""
mergedalpha="true"
oversampling="2.0"
mipmapping="false"
onautosized=""
onclick="loadscene(pano9,null,merge);set(view.hlookat,0)"
/>

It displays fine on PC/laptop with chrome, edge and firefox, but on ipad/iphone the text formatting is lost. I don't want to create png/jpg's for the hotspots as I need to transfer text to/from a database to update the displayed text. I have attached two screen shots showing the problem.

I tried changing the rendering from webgl to css3d but it makes no difference.

Help and advice most appreciated, also is there a way to change the properties of the 'box' for example curved corners?

cheers Tim

Hi Klaus

Many thanks for your help, will investigate further. Being able to create hotspots without needing a png is such a great feature and has saved me so much time on this project.

At the moment the description text for the hotspot is 'static' but for my project I will need to update it from time to time, for example when a new inspection is done.


For example:

html="Fire Door F32-F3[br]Inspected[br]8/9/22"


The 'inspected' and '8/9/22' strings could need to be changed to 'failed', '7/12/22'

I could create a separate xml file and then include it, something like....

set(f31-date,8/9/22));
set(f31-check,pass));

What is the best way to then overwrite the html string for the hotspot?

I did try - Set (hotspot[flat-32].html,get(propdesc));

where propdesc was already defined, which worked fine, but I need to overwrite multiple variables in the html string.

Thanks in advance for your help.

cheers

Solved it!...

declare variables...

for example:



<data name="flat32-fd-name">Flat 31</data>
<data name="flat32-fd-floor">Floor 3</data>
<data name="flat32-fd-date"> 15/8/22</data>
<data name="flat32-fd-status"> passed</data>

create the hotspot:


<hotspot name="fire-door-f32-f3"
type="text"
style="fire-door-style"
ath="182.5" atv="5"
html=""
/>

Then 'overwrite' the html string...


txtadd(hotspot[fire-door-f32-f3].html,'',get(data[flat32-fd-name].content),[br],get(data[flat32-fd-floor].content),[br],get(data[flat32-fd-status].content),[br],get(data[flat32-fd-date].content));


Hope this is useful
