ToolBox V2

Hi all,

It took some time, but here it is.
ToolBox V2 (Beta)

To learn and study I now made the ToolBox as a krpano js plugin.
100kb of convenience.

As I think it is quite stable now, I just 'finished' it for now though, I decided to release a first version of V2. Still quite basic I think.
I have about 4-5 more things I would like to add, perhaps some changes.. I need your help to evaluate this a bit...keep in mind it is not an 'editor'.
So.. there we go

Put the toolbox folder on the same level as the 'tour.xml' in your project and add the toolbox to your project as a plugin... like:
<plugin nam="toolbox" url="toolbox/toolboxV2.js" keep="true" preload="true" />

Load your project.
You can use keycodes to control your ToolBox:

T to show/hide the ToolBox
M to go back to the ToolBox menu
N to show the Numbers section
H to show the distorted hotspot editor
P to show the Polygonal hotspot editor
G to show/hide the Grid
J to show the Stickies
K to show the ColorPicker
I to show/hide the info panel

The above keycodes you can set to your personal tast in the plugin, among some other settings. These are all currently available settings:

<plugin name="toolbox" url="toolbox/toolboxV2.js" keep="true" preload="true"
poly_bgcolor="0x336699"
dot_color="0xffff00"
dot_size="12"
active_dot_color="0x00ff00"
active_dot_size="12"

keycode_to_home="77"
keycode_to_activate="84"
keycode_to_log="76"
keycode_to_numbers="78"
keycode_to_distorted="72"
keycode_to_poly="80"
keycode_to_grid="71"
keycode_to_stickies="74"
keycode_to_colorpicker="75"
keycode_to_info="73"

decimals_for_numbers="3"
decimals_for_dhe="2"

basecolor_for_colorpicker="0xff0000"
/>

The ToolBox V2 (beta) is dragable and has currently 6 sections.
More features are in the planning.

- Numbers
- Distorted hotspot editor
- Polygonal hotspot editor
- Grid
- Stickies
- Colorpicker

I hope you like my suggestion!
I could appreciate yours

NOTE:
This is written as a Krpano js plugin, as a study project. It seems to work great although it can be that i made a mistake or two. For that it is in 'Beta' now. I plan to add more features on a short term during folowing updates. The code of the colorpicker is based on the colorpicker from San7 (Alexandr Mikhailov) and re-written to js by me.

This is a Share-Ware product © by Virtual Tuur | Arthur van den Enk.
Please use it and i hope it brings some convenience. If you find a problem or a bug, if you like it or have idea's.. please let me know in the forum thread.

Edit: 4 nov 2022 there was a small typo. Current download is fixed version.

Hi Nupsi,

Btw...in the old toolbox, I often had the problem that when I tried to move a hotspot, the background moved instead

..mm.. i can't remember i ever had this problem.. it is a long time ago i wrote it and also i made a custom version quite quickly after that that i used myself for years..
I wonder why you didn't mentioned it..and mention it now... it also sounds strange to me...
But as it was opensource, i suppose you did fix the issue your self in a split second.

The new version will be a Beta, i have a list of features that i still want to add, but i think it already works that good that i dare to share it .. soon..

I used Toolbox and had big trouble with making dozens polygonal hotspots in one pano.

Sorry to hear that, i have not such an experience and also made many.
I can't find you mentioning this issue in previous posts.

Maybe It would be very useful to also include some tool to create hotspots (not just edit) and layers.

This is typically an editor thing. The ToolBox only gives you values to be used to your needs. There is no real editting happening, and that is also not the plan.
Hotspot and layer creating etc is too specific.. i would never use it.
You could put your hotspot and layer bases in a 'sticky' then you can just copy it from there and enter the numbers.
If you want such an editor i point you, for example, to the editor plugins from San7 (Alexandre).

Hi all,

I found a sloppy little bug (typo).
if you use keystroke K to show the color picker it also shows the info..
This is a small mistake.

Best fix for now is to implement like this:

<plugin name="toolbox" url="toolbox/toolboxV2.js" keep="true" preload="true" 
		keycode_to_info="73"             
	/>

or..
download the package from the top post again.

Sorry for this.
In the future, further updates will be presented/edited/updated in the first post.
Version in first post is also updated! (+ 60 downloads)

Hi,

yes sorry... perhaps I was unclear..
you should change that file in the original download..
Best to do now is to download the 'whole' package from the first/top post..

Hope it helps,
