Pour ce faire est ce que dois-je forcément acheter une licence illimité de KR Pano? Ici par exemple?

Yes, then you can make the XML created by APT external and available for further editing.

You will also enable several other desirable features within APT.

And if you already have an APG licence then you can get a 10 Euro discount via the Kolor web shop.

Okay great! Thank you for you answer.
And about the radar, is it hard to include? Have you before?

I have never tried.

I took a look at the documentation on the krpano site - http://krpano.com/plugins/radar/ - and decided it looked to be too challenging for my very limited desire to get involved with hand coding XML. As a rather old dog I'm reluctant to try to learn too many new tricks.

I hope that one day support for the radar effect will be offered via the APT GUI interface.

Okay, so I bought the KRPano Licence, and I've been able to go that far.

I included the Map, reduce it when you click on it, I have the radar... But I'm still missing some features:

Close the radar when we click on the map, and add some spots on the Map... I'll keep looking, and maybe will look for some help on KRPano's forum.... Otherwise if someone has an idea, that'd be great

Oh okay! I didn't know that...
I'm gonna try!

Indeed I'm trying to jump into the Xml but this is not easy...
This is what I have:

    
<plugin name="map" url="map.png" keep="true" align="righttop" x="10" y="10" width="180" height="105" handcursor="false" onloaded="set(plugin[map].width, 180);action(showmapspot);" onclick="action(closemap);"/>
    <action name="showmapspot"></action>
    <action name="hidemapspot"></action>
    <!-- close the map -->
    <action name="closemap">action(hidemapspot);set(plugin[map].onclick,action(openmap););tween(plugin[map].width,40);tween(plugin[map].height,19);</action>
    <!-- open the map -->
    <action name="openmap">set(plugin[map].onclick,action(closemap););tween(plugin[map].height, 105, 0.5, easeoutquad);tween(plugin[map].width, 180, 0.5, easeoutquad, action(showmapspot););</action>
    <action name="unselectmapspots"></action>
    <action name="selectmapspot">
        action(unselectmapspots);
        set(plugin[%1].blingRepeat,true);
        if(plugin[%1].blingRepeat,
            action(bling,%1););</action>
    <!-- make map hotspots flash when selected (recursive action) -->
    <action name="bling">
        tween(plugin[%1].alpha, 0, 0.8, quadratic);
        tween(plugin[%1].scale, 3, 0.8, quadratic);
        tween(,,0.8,,action(reset,%1);
        if(plugin[%1].blingRepeat,action(bling,%1);););</action>
    <action name="reset">set(plugin[%1].scale,1);set(plugin[%1].alpha,1);</action>
    <action name="closeglobalobjects">closemap();</action>

    
    
    
       <plugin name="radar" url="plugins/radar.swf"heading="-90" fillcolor="0xFF0000" fillalpha="0.4" linecolor="000000" linewidth="1" linealpha="0.5" align="righttop" x="10" y="10"  width="120" height="120"  />
 <!-- close the radar test  -->
    <action name="closeradar"> set(plugin[radar].visible,false); tween(plugin[radar].width,40);tween(plugin[radar].height,19);</action>

I actually didn't right all this, I've taken parts from different exemples...etc.. I tried to use the

set(plugin[radar].visible,false)

but it didn't help...
I understand that APT can not code all this for me, but it's too bad I can't find an XML code of the complete radar and then modify it myself...

But thanks for helping, really, I appreciate...Even if I don't understand everything...

Okay, So I have everything I wanted.
Here just an example...

Your URL was screwed.

I think this is correct?:
http://pro.ovh.net/~courtesl/temp_ludo/ … omega.html

None of the hotspots appears to be working - perhaps that's also correct in this example?

You have some 'pinching' at the nadir on many of the panos in the tour.

This is most likely because the Pano FOV values are incorrect - probably because you have processed the panos images - after stitching and before placing in APT - and have lost the Kolor custom EXIF tag, generated when rendering the pano, that describes the pano FOV which APT can read to set those values correctly.

Can you share your code with use so we can see how to implement the radar feature?

Yeah I know about the pinching on the nadir...Actually, it's because I was missing some of it in my images after process in ATG and I quickly "fixed" it in photoshop.. but it was not perfect, and that's were the "pinching" impression comes from...

It might have been more, or as, effective (not to mention quicker) to ensure that projection of pano covered full 360x180 - use 'Preferred extend/Maximum projection range' setting in APP/APG - see screenshot - and then use the APT crop feature to hide the missing section at the nadir from the viewer. Thst prevents distortion at the nadir.

About the code to include the radar, that's what I used:

    <plugin name="radar" url="plugins/radar.swf" heading="-90" parent="map" fillcolor="0xFFFFFF" fillalpha="0.5" linecolor="000000" linewidth="1" linealpha="0.5" align="righttop" x="-3" y="20"  width="120" height="120" scale="1" />

Hmmmm........I'll need to study that to try and grasp how it works in context. It's an intimidating prospect to try and get my ageing brain around it.
