![]() |
|
| Panoramafiles | A complete panoramic family:
Only one Flash panorama player can be activated at a time. |
For every panorama there must be a unique base name, the characters before the suffix. All versions of a panorama must have a identical base name and be sorted in the appropriate folders. Also the Zoomify folder and krpano multiresolution folder must be named with this base name. |
| Testmode | For test purpose the test mode can be switched on on top in the respective layout file layouts/layout [No.].php. A link row appears at top of the page in which all player are directly selectable. |
In the file layouts/layout[Nr].php:
// To test all player switch on all player-links ontop of the page (Module 59)
$playertest = 0; // default $playertest = 0; oder $playertest = 1; |
| Automatik | When a panorama page is loaded in the browser, a player is selected automatically. I.e. it is checked on every page load whether the plug-in is installed for the selected player. The user can get an overview of the installed plug-ins on the help page. |
The order of loading and activation of the players is entered in the basic configuration file inc/01-config.inc.php: // Auto-Player Switch: Order for the priority of the installed plugins in the user-browser. Enter Nummbers 1 - 5, 0 = plugin inaktiv |
| Manual player selection | The user can select between the installed players in link tabs. This tab can be activated and deactivated. | In the file inc/01-config.inc.php:
// Active tab for manuell Player-switch: 1=activ 0=inactiv
$devalanzeige= 0 ; $quicktimeanzeige= 1 ; $fullscreenanzeige= 1 ; //if activated, files for fullscreenpanoramas in QT and Equi should exist $shockwaveanzeige= 1 ; $flashanzeige= 1 ; $javaanzeige = 1 ; $equirectangularanzeige= 1 ; // switchable via tab "Flat" $equifullscreenanzeige= 1 ; // The Equi-Panorama is opened in a fullscreen-window |

| Flash Panorama Player. | The gallery is configured by default to use the krpano-player. To switch to the Flash Panorama Player(FPP2):
There are a lot of files which belong to FPP2. The player files are not included in PPG11, they are commercial. |
In the file inc/01-config.inc.php:
// Enter player for Flash-panoramas . "krpano", "Flashpp2", "FlashPurePlayer" or "FlashPano2QTVRPlayer" ------------------
$flashplayer = "Flashpp2"; // Folders for the panoramas: The necessary .swf files are not included in the PPG11 distribution. The must be bought for about 47 Euro. |
| Flash krpano player |
krpanois configured as a Standard-Flash player in the gallery. The quality is comparable with FlashPanorama player. the performance a little bit better. krpano is the only player which offers the possibility to display multi resolution panoramas. The player file is the file krpano.swf. Distributed with the gallery is an only locally working demo file. The licence version must be bought for 36 Euros. The configuration of the player can be changed in the file krpano.xml.php. Further details on the krpano web page. krpano is integrated double in the gallery: The normal version displays equirectangular JPG files. |
In the file inc/01-config.inc.php:
// Enter player for Flash-panoramas . "krpano", "Flashpp2", "FlashPurePlayer" or "FlashPano2QTVRPlayer" ------------------
$flashplayer = "krpano"; // Folders for the panoramas: Initial pan, tild and zoom can be read out of the related Quicktime-file. If there is no appropriate Quicktime-file, initial pan and tilt is set to 0. Zoom can be set in the configuration-file inc/01-config.inc.php:
// Extract initial view (pan,tilt, zoom) from Quicktime file and transfer it to krpano, fpp2, Java Pure Player and Shockwave Player. 1 or 0
$initview = 0; // If deactivated or without Quicktime file set init zoom (Quicktime-logic) $initzoom = 65; |
| Flash krpano Multiresolution |
If there is a appropriate named subfolder within krpano folder, the page is toggled to multiresolution when called.
It´s easy to expand multiresolution with a further zoom level. For 20480 x10240 add a further line to the xml-file krpano.xml, similar to the existing 4 definition-lines. |
A multiresolution definition line looks like: <sphere url="<?php echo "$multiresordner/$datei2" ?>/tiles_1_%v_%0u.jpg" /> |
| Flash Pure Player | The Pure Starter Tool Kit of the company Immervision (35 dollars) produces ivp files, with are diplayed by the player file player / PurePlayer.swf. It offers only basic quality, worse than krpano and FPP2. Initial settings can be set within Pure Starter Tool Kit. | |
| Flash Pano2VR | Die SWF-Dateien, vom Konverter Pano2VR erzeugt, enthalten einen eigenen Player, keine weitere Datei ist notwendig. Das Programm kostet 70 Euro und kann viele Panoramakonvertierungen vornehmen.. Da ich das Programm nicht besitze, kann ich keine weiteren Informationen geben, z.B. zum Fullscreen-Modus. Die Qualität liegt IMHO unter der von krpano und FPP2. Weitere Informationen auf der Pano2VR-Seite. The SWF files, generated by the converter software Pano2VR , contain their own player, no other file is necessary. The quality lies IMHO under from krpano and FPP2. Further information on the Pano2VR web-page. It offers basic quality, worse than krpano and FPP2. Initial settings can be set within Pano2VR. |

| Java Pure Player | The free Java-player "Pure Player" of the company Immervision displays equirectangular JPG in good quality and excellent performance. It offers an excellent fullscreen mode. | Initial pan, tild and zoom can be read out of the related Quicktime-file. If there is no appropriate Quicktime-file, initial pan and tilt is set to 0. Zoom can be set in the configuration-file inc/01-config.inc.php:
// Extract initial view (pan,tilt, zoom) from Quicktime file and transfer it to krpano, fpp2, Java Pure Player and Shockwave Player. 1 or 0
$initview = 0; // If deactivated or without Quicktime file set init zoom (Quicktime-logic) $initzoom = 65; |
| Equirectangular flat | There is a link to the equirectangular version of the panorama "Flat". It displays the appropriete file within the "equirectangular"-folder. | The image is scaled to the player width. So the panorama file can be much larger. |
| Equirectangular fullscreen | In mode "flat" the link "fullscreen" opens a fullscreen window with a fullscreen version of the flat panorama. | Set the equirectangular fullscreen-folder in inc/01-config.inc.php:
/ Other folder
... $equifullscreenordner="panos/sortiert"; // for flat-fullscreen-display |
| Zoomify | If there is a folder named with the base name of the panorama within the Zoomify-folder, the Zoomify-version of the panorama is displayed in flat-mode. The link on the Flat-tab changes to "Zoomify" |
Zoomify-files can be created with Photoshop via file/export/Zoomify. Rename the generated folder to the panorama base name and put it in the "Zoomify"-folder within PPG11 The free tool Zoomify RZ can also produce a zoomify-version of a panorama. Download it from the Zoomify Webpage. |
| Zoomify Fullscreen |
When in Zoomify-Mode, a klick on "Fullscreen" opens the Zoomify-panorama in a new fullscreen window. |
