panorama compare - how to get autorotate and more

Jann Lipka · August 10, 2026 at 9:42 AM New

I love panorama compare - but would like to have some autorote function
With regular panos I coukl easily put some text after "view settings " in xml file as below -


<view hlookat="0" vlookat="0" maxpixelzoom="1.0" fovmax="150" limitview="auto" />
<autorotate enabled="true" waittime="1" accel="0.6" speed="0.6" horizon="6" tofov="NaN"/>

Is it possible to make something similar in panorama compare ?

also is it possible to make side by side as start/ default view ( instead of splitscreen )
regards from Stockholm

Hi,

not sure if i understand your first question properly..
I guess the best way of doing this is to put the autorotate on pano 1 and let pano 2 follow the changes in the view with a js type action.

At the bottom of the compare-panos.xml there is the autorun onstart action.
Change split_screen(set,0.5); to side_by_side(tween);
.. or perhapse even better: side_by_side(set);

Yes - thanks - Your suggestion works !
I was even able to figure out that top_bottom works as well - thanks !
but the autorotate thing is too difficult

Hi,

~~i guess adding something like this to the compare-panos.xml should work basically.~~

Code

Edit: Wrong code...

Brilliant - it works .
For my taste - normally I would like autorotaion to start after like 3 seconds automatically -
just to let people see it is a interactive panorama ...
and the speed maybe half of the current

~~Add krp1.autorotate.waittime = 6;~~

ha ha ha - where do I put it ?

Tuur · August 11, 2026 at 9:46 AM New

~~Try after kr1.autorotate.enabled = true;~~

~~Or perhaps just before.~~

~~Same-ish for the speed.~~
~~Try like this~~

Ok, i made a thinking error.
It seems to be much simpler..
the correct code, i think is:

Code

    <autorotate enabled="false"
        waittime="3"
        accel="1.0"
        speed="5.0"
        horizon="0.0"
        tofov="off"
        oneroundrange="360.0"
        zoomslowdown="true"
        interruptionevents="userviewchange|layers|keyboard"
    />    
    
	<layer name="button_autorotate" style="button" align="leftbottom" x="0" y="20" width="100"
		text="Autorotate"
		onclick="switch(autorotate.enabled)"
		/>

Also fixed in the Portal

I'm not sure where to put this
( and does it make a autortate button ?

just add it to the compare-panos.xml in your examples folder to see.
or download the whole thing here:
