Before ~ After

ksraghavendra · Tue Oct 11, 2011 9:36 am

Hi,
I am working on a Before ~ After kind of panorama. I want to know how to achieve the following-
1) When I switch from before->after or vice versa, I want the next panorama to continue from the current view point rather than from the beginning.
2) Is it possible to display both panos side by side such that if I pan/zoom in one it is reflected in the other too.
Kindly suggest the best way to proceed.
Regards,
Raghav

Hi
You can use $cur in the target text field to open the next pano with the same Pan/Tilt/FoV.
So if you have the befor and after pano starting from the some point you can switch between the to keeping the same view.

Hi Hopki,
Thanks for your reply. But I fail to find out where to insert this option

Could you kindly provide some screenshot?

One more doubt,
How to link 2 embeded panos? Say I embed 2 panos(or embed one in another whichever way this can be worked out), one before scene & another after scene, I want both to be visible side by side and when I pan/zoom in one the same has to be reflected in another. How to achieve this sync?
Thanks in advance,
Raghav

As this comes up quite often, I have now added a wiki page for this. Basically you can sync the two panos with a little bit of javascript code:

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for the reply. I need to distribute the same thru a DVD as well. How to proceed then?
*Updated- The code given doesn't seem to work, tried tweaking it here & there but no change. Are these functions, viz., getPan(), getFov(), setPan(), etc., available in some external .js file? I did not find them in swfobject.js

Thomas,

Have your got an example of this working (sync)?
I tried your code and although both panos are displayed they are not in sync.
You state also to name the panos pano_left.swf and pano_right.swf but in your code these are named simply left.swf and right.swf

Of course I corrected this, but no sync based on your code provided.

Thank you!

Sorry, stupid error. I forgot to change the first javascript ID from "panoleft" to "pano_left". I updated the code and now it should work correctly.

That works a "bit" better!

I missed this JS solution to the side by side display. I copied the code directly and changed the name of my panos to left.swf and right.swf aznd I get no sync. I get the panos side by side, just no sync. Does anyone have a working example online?

Hey Beagle,

The code does work now.
Read the .html and find what the actual .swf should be called. Forget what Thomas has told you to call them because it doesn't match the code.
In my example they are named pano_left.swf and pano_right.swf
Of course you can change these to whatever you like so long as you adjust the names accordingly.

Be sure to correct the panoleft ID to pano_left in the code.

Based on the code the left pano is the drive pano and moving it controls the right pano (sync).
It is not as smooth as I would have liked. But then running two panos full size is eating resources pretty fast, straining the computer.

I don't have an example online. But if you do get totally suck I can make it happen.
