Examples Version 1.20
Animated Hotspots
xml: anihotspots.xml
Image-based animated hotspots.
This example shows how to use image-strips / sprite-sheets
as animated hotspot images.
The images will be animated by dynamically changing the crop setting
(which 'cuts-out' a certain region of the image) by xml action scripting.
The do_crop_animation <action>
in this example has no dependencies and can be easily reused in own examples.
It supports vertical, horizontal and tiled image-strips and loops the images from left-top to right-bottom.
As parameters the pixel-size of one frame and the favored frame-rate need to be set.
Background Sound
xml: backgroundsound.xml
Play a sound as background music.
In this example the soundinterface plugin will be used
to extend krpano with support for sounds.
To automatically start and stop the background sound only for the current pano (e.g. when using several scenes)
the playback will be controlled by pano-local events.
Additionally a small button is included to pause and resume the sound.
Blending Demo
xml: blending-demo.xml
WebGL-Blending-Modes Demo
This is an example to demonstrate the possibilities of the new WebGL-based blending modes.
The different blending-modes are custom settings for the blend
parameter of the loadpano() / loadscene() actions.
Beside of this the examples shows how to use custom xml structures (the <blendmodes> element is a custom one)
and how to drag layers and to use the scrollarea plugin.
Combobox / Dropdown

This example rotates images accordingly to the current viewing direction.
The compass elements are build-out of several layers and images - and one of these images
will be rotated when the viewing changes.
Custom Contextmenu
xml: contextmenu.xml
Define a custom right-click / long-press-touch context-menu.
This exampels shows how to define a custom context-menu items - in this case with options to
change the control mode and to change the viewing projection.

xml: tour.xml •
vtourskin.xml •
webvr.xml
Demotour: Empty Blue Apartment
This tour was first build using the MAKE VTOUR droplet and then modified manually.
For navigating between the rooms hidden polygonal hotspots are used.
All panos were aligned into the same direction during stitching so that the
KEEPVIEW flag can be used
to keep the same looking direction when moving through the panos.
Demotour Corfu
xml: tour.xml •

xml: tour.xml •
depthmap_navigation.xml •
tour_edithelper.xml
Depthmap-Tour of the 'Little Temple of Abu Simbel'
A full-featured demo tour using depthmaps.
It demonstrates how to view a pano dynamically from new perspectives,
e.g. to show wall friezes undistorted.
Additionally the depthmaps allow nice 3D-transitions.
The tour offers automatic- and manually-generated hotspots for navigation.
The depthmaps were generated by the everpano 3D tool,
the tour itself manually designed and coded.
A little helper tool for finding 3D viewpoint and hotspot positions is also included.
Depthmap Demotour: Gravina Apartment
xml: main.xml •
main2.xml •
project3d.xml
Depthmap-Tour of the 'Gravina Apartment'
The whole tour was fully generated by the everpano 3D tool.
For navigation in the tour the everpano Navigator plugin is used.
That plugin allows easy navigating by automatically finding the pano next to the point where the used had clicked -
and when there is no pano near, a nice 3D-zooming-animation indicates that.
Here for more depthmap-testing the same tour also with fully free 3D-movement and pano-navigation by automatic-generated hotspots: Gravina Apartment - Example 2

by rendering software together with the (also rendered) pano-image
or using some stereo-to-depth software from stereo-panos.

maskchildren=true
(clip children elements) and maskchildren=false (no clipping).

This could be used with video files or mjpeg live streams (e.g. for dome webcams) as well.
Flyout Hotspots
xml: flyout-hotspots.xml
Flyout Hotspots
This is an example about the hotspot flying setting.
By tweening it from 0.0 to 1.0 a hotspot can move from it's
normal position inside the pano to a fixed position on the screen.
The example manages the state of several hotspots. When one hotspot is flying out, the others will
automatically fly back in.
Follow-Mouse
xml: example.xml •
followmouse.xml
Follow-Mouse
An example for letting the view automatically slightly follow the users mouse-cursor.
E.g. as indicator that this is an interactive image.
As soon the user starts interacting the following will pause and automatically resume later.
Fov-Types
xml: fovtype.xml •
combobox.xml
Field-of-view type comparison and fixed screen-size aspects.

how the view.fov field-of-view setting
relates to the window-size.

During the video playback a darken background layer will cover the pano and the other user interface elements.
Interactive Area
xml: interactive-area.xml
Interactive-Area
In this example a distorted hotspot image that shows a different pano content will be used.
That hotspot will be faded-in when hovering an invisible polygonal hotspot, which acts as 'hit-area' for the
image hotspot.

Little Planet Intro
xml: tour.xml •
vtourskin.xml
The Corfu tour starting with a Little Planet Intro
The 'Little Planet' view itself is basically only a Stereographic Projection plus looking down.
In krpano a stereographic projection distortion can be enabled by setting the
view.distortion setting to 1.0.
And by animation (tweening) this setting and the viewing direction a nice Little Planet
transition animation can be created.
The default vtourskin.xml
skin already provides a predefined Little Planet Intro script. To enable it only change the
littleplanetintro setting in the tour.xml to true.
Loading Progress
xml: loading-progress-example.xml •
loadinganimation.xml •
loadingbar.xml •
loadingpercenttext.xml
Visualize the loading progress.
This example shows three possibility to visualize the pano image loading progress -
as image-based loop animation (an image-strip with a crop animation),
as loading bar (by changing the size of a layer element)
and as percent text.
It would be possible just to include one of the example xml files to add that kind of loading progress animation
to an own pano or tour.

Multires: 1.4 Petapixel
xml: petapixel.xml

That's equal to a spherical pano in the size of 52.707.178 x 26.353.589 pixel.
To make that test-case as realistic as possible the tile-images are loaded from a server
(and there they are dynamically generated on request).
Here additionally also a Partial-Pano test-case (with adjustable hfov/vfov settings).

The flat-pano-projection is a good way to show the full-image-content at once.
Here the same pano as partial-pano: Trevi Fountain Partial Pano (fov 95x66).
Different to the flat-pano-projection this allows an undistorted view at the edges when zoomed-in and additionally also showing more content because of the different cropping-range in spherical projection.
