Need a hand up with cylinder panoramas

[Rafe]

Hi Everyone,

I just bought FPP, and don't really know where to start. I am currently working on a cylindrical panorama which I have stitched together in one file. Is there any way to use just the one image rather than hacking it up into six bits?

If I can do this, would someone be wonderful enough to give the xml for specifying a single image?

Thanks!

Welcome Rafe.

Here is what shows up for me after using the FPP GUI (work in progress)

You have to copy "limits.swf" to the folder where you have your project, and add the following to your xml file:


<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'utf-8'?>
<panorama>
<parameters>
panoname=ThisIsWhereYourPanoramaNameIsWritten
panoType = cylinder
layer_2 = limits.swf
layer_3 = cylConverter.swf
</parameters>
<cylconverter>
autoLimits=1
strictBorders=0
hfov = 360
vfov = 75
</cylconverter>
</panorama>

Thanks Tuddi,

That's exactly what I needed to get started, I'm definitely getting into it now. I like how the whole thing works, it's fairly easy to get a pretty decent panorama going in just a few minutes.

Thankyou for your help!
