Re: Linking pans

Ian,
I'm guessing that this is some sort of display presentation where it's
left by itself showing the panoramas?
Try the following code, I think it does what you want, if I've
understood what you want that is! (If not let me know whats wrong).
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<applet width="500" height="375" archive="ptviewer.jar"
code="ptviewer.class">
<param name="pano0"
value="{file=panorama1.jpg}{fov=70}{fovmin=70}{fovmax=70}{autoTime=60}{autoNumTurns=1}{auto=0.33}{inits=ptviewer:waitWhilePanning();newPanoFromList(1);}{shotspot0=x0
y0 a499 b375 u'ptviewer:newPanoFromList(1);}" />
<param name="pano1"
value="{file=panorama2.jpg}{fov=70}{fovmin=70}{fovmax=70}{autoTime=60}{autoNumTurns=1}{auto=0.33}{inits=ptviewer:waitWhilePanning();newPanoFromList(2);}{shotspot0=x0
y0 a499 b375 u'ptviewer:newPanoFromList(2);}" />
<param name="pano2"
value="{file=panorama3.jpg}{fov=70}{fovmin=70}{fovmax=70}{autoTime=60}{autoNumTurns=1}{auto=0.33}{inits=ptviewer:waitWhilePanning();newPanoFromList(0);}{shotspot0=x0
y0 a499 b375 u'ptviewer:newPanoFromList(0);}" />
<param name="file" value="ptviewer:0" />
<param name="showToolbar" value="true" />
<param name="imgLoadFeedback" value="false" />
</applet>
</body>
</html>
My example uses PTViewer and has 3 panoramas linked together looping
round. After a single rotation it loads the next. If the panorama is
clicked on it jumps to the next. I've locked the field of view at 70
degrees. The autoTime param is the minimum number of seconds for a
single rotation (if your machine can't keep up it'll be slower).
AutoNumTurns is the number of turns to be done. auto is the auto
rotation pan angle increment for each frame (in degrees). Just replace
the file parameter with your panorama names and duplicate so that you
have enough for your 7 panoramas and I think that'll be it. Don't
forget if you change the size of the applet window to change the size
of the static hotspot to match.
