limiting rotation to single axis

[jasonkeene]

I just briefly read through the documentation and I couldn't find an option to limit the rotation of the camera to just a single axis. I basically don't want the view to be able to look at the top/bottom of the cube.

I'm gonna re-read the docs but I was just checking to see if this is possible.

Thanks,

Glad to see you solved your problem ;)

You could also use the limits plug in, it's more versatile as you can determine the exact angle you don't want the users to exceed, and it can be asymmetrical, limit more on the bottom half of the panorama than the top half.

I need to do just that. Anyone have some code for limits plug-in?

Hi izoneguy,

directly from the limits plugin documentation :P

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<panorama>
<parameters>
layer_3 = limits.swf
</parameters>
<limits>
pan_min = -40
pan_max = 40
tilt_min = -10
tilt_max = 80
</limits>
</panorama>
Just one thing you must give the min and max values of either pan or tilt, it wont work if you give just the min value.

For instance I usually use this:

<limits>
pan_min =
pan_max =
tilt_min = -70
tilt_max = 130
</limits>

this will hide the nadir but not the zenith ;)

Hope it helps :)
