Partial Panoramas and Relative Hotspots

This page is a test for defining hotspots in partial panoramas. Relative hotspots are determined from the complete sphere not the extent of the image. 

Pano0

Full panorama. 

Pano1

Horizontal FOV 360°, copped vertically. Same hotspots as Pano0

Pano2

Pano1 cropped to a horizontal FOV of 300°. Same hotspots as Pano0

  

At present, pressing "H" with the cursor over the applet will display the relative coordinates for the cursor position. This feature was created before partial panoramas was supported and appears to use the height and width of the image in pixels to determine the relative position. This will generate errors for partial panoramas since it doesn't take the FOV of the image into account so until it is changed it is best to either:

  1. use absolute coordinates (pixels)
  2. pad out the image to a full 360 x 180° before determining relative coordinates.
