> Helmut,
> You are nothing short of amazing.
> Bill Gates with all his resources takes 2 years to give me (charge me for)
> an upgrade then he doesn't add the features I asked for....
>
> (1) Partial panoramas supported (FOV < 360°).
> Good
>
> (2) Configurable Controls built into the Applet. VR-tours
> without html-browser are feasible using any appletviewer.
> See the docs for details of the implementation.
> I will have to check this out...
>
> (3) Compass image can be loaded which is rotated
> according to current pan angle.
> Neat. I will have to experiment...
>
> (4) Static hotspots added (like clickable image maps
> in html).
> Excellent. I assume this was nesecary for implimenting button frame.
>
> (5) Three examples added: SimplePano.html using
> no scripting, Controls.html using configurable
> controls, and ScriptedPano.html using Javascript.
>
> (6) Double buffering implemented which eliminates
> flicker of hotspotimages. Slight speed penalty (~3%).
>
> Worth the tradeoff. I thought they were quite obnoxious on slower
machines.
>
> (7) Viewer window can be smaller than appletwindow, and
> offset.
> AWESOME.
>
> (8) Wait image not scaled. Displayed centered in window.
> Your the best.
>
> (10)frame can be any size, and is aligned to lower right
> corner of applet window.
>
> (11)Waitimage and frame image need not be reloaded for
> new panoramas.
> Fantastic
>
> (12) Minimum time for display of wait image settable.
> Thankyou.
>
> (13) Maximum frame rate for autopan functions set to 25fps.
> Good.
>
> Looks like I have work to do...
>
> Helmut, I can not thank you enough...
