panorama tilt param?

[buruno]

Hello,

Which parameter do I add to the xml file to limit the tilt in my panorama to +90 -65 degrees?

Thank you.

There is no param to restrict tilt except disableTilt so the main feature of the player is sizeable window (you can change the wdth, the height and the ratio of the panorama window dynamically, this can change the visible area irrespective of current tilt value).
It is possible to create some Flash application (as a plugin) to control the visible area realtime. Not very trivial for common case, I will think about it. Thanks.

dennis,

are you saying tiltMin and tiltMax is not likely to become a possibility?

Hi Denis:

I for one will put my feature request in for "tiltMin" and "tiltMax" access/ability.

I think you'll find (especially as more people become interested in FP!) that this is a feature many people will want to have. I have many cylindrical panoramas which have been output as cubic, to take advantage of better playback in QuickTime. QT allows you to restrict the tilt, so you can "hide" the top and bottom faces.

I understand being able to resize the window & thus the apparent FOV, but I think few people will implement this when they have the panoramas embedded in a 'fixed scale' layout.

[Denis]

Ok. I will make it. Not right now but in the next few monthes...

damn i didn't saw this function doesn't exist.

as limpet girl, i think this option is a fundamental one.

maybe i'will not be so hard to implement it in next version denis?

thanks

I need that feature too! ;)

Later edit:
Actually, I need very much a way to limit the paning and tilting in panoramas. This is usefull when trying to display partial panos, when I want to allow panning and tilting withing a certain range.
If there is allready a way to do that, let me know, maybe I missed it. If not, could you please implement this? :)

hi

can we have your opinion about that Denis?

Is this feature hard to implement and will it be included in the next version?

thanks!

[Denis]

Yes. The next version will have a simple pan/tilt delimiter plugin. You will be able to restrict camera pan/tilt.

Has the Tilt Max and Min paremter been added to 2.1?

I can't find in the API docs only refernces to it here, I really need this, trying to force my old cylindrical projections in and this is the one missing piece.

I have set disableTilt although whilst this limits the mouse drag it does not modify the pan up down when using the buttons.

Hey there:

Using the "borders" plugin, you can limit the tilt or pan limits in your tour on a per-panorama basis. For example:


<panorama>
<parameters>
layer_3 = files/borders.swf
</parameters>
<borders>
pan_min = 0
pan_max = 360
tilt_min = -20
tilt_max = 70
</borders>
</panorama>


Make sure to upload your "borders.swf" to the right place. :)

Thanks, I did manage to find this myself,

I assumed that this would be a standard parameter rather than needing the extra plugin.

Just goes to show you should never assume anything.
