Photo Sphere Viewer

# Configuration

Angles definitions

Photo Sphere Viewer uses a lot of angles for its configuration, most of them can be defined in radians by using a simple number (3.5) or in degrees using the "deg" prefix ('55deg').

Positions defintions

Some methods take a position parameter. It is an object with either longitude and latitude properties (radians or degrees) or x and y properies (corresponding to the pixel position on the source panorama file).

# Standard options

# container (required)

  • type: HTMLElement | string

HTML element which will contain the panorama, or identifier of the element.

container: document.querySelector('.viewer')

container: 'viewer' // will target [id="viewer"]

# panorama (required)

  • type: string | string[] | object

Path to the panorama image(s). It must be a single string for equirectangular panoramas and an array or an object for cubemaps.

// Equirectangular panorama :
panorama: 'path/to/panorama.jpg'

// Cubemap as array (order is important) :
panorama: [
  'path/to/left.jpg', 'path/to/front.jpg',
  'path/to/right.jpg', 'path/to/back.jpg',
  'path/to/top.jpg', 'path/to/bottom.jpg',
]

// Cubemap as object :
panorama: {
  left:   'path/to/left.jpg',  front:  'path/to/front.jpg',
  right:  'path/to/right.jpg', back:   'path/to/back.jpg',
  top:    'path/to/top.jpg',   bottom: 'path/to/bottom.jpg',
}

  • default: 0

Initial longitude, between 0 and 2π.

# defaultLat

  • type: double | string
  • default: 0

Initial latitude, between -π/2 and π/2.

# longitudeRange

Now part of a plugin.

# latitudeRange

# autorotateDelay

  • type: integer
  • default: null

Delay after which the automatic rotation will begin, in milliseconds.

# autorotateSpeed

  • type: string
  • default: 2rpm

Speed of the automatic rotation.

# autorotateLat

  • type: double | string
  • default: defaultLat

Latitude at which the automatic rotation is performed.

# lang

  • type: object
  • default:
lang: {
    autorotate: 'Automatic rotation',
    zoom      : 'Zoom',
    zoomOut   : 'Zoom out',

    download  : 'Download',
    fullscreen: 'Fullscreen',
    menu      : 'Menu',
    twoFingers: 'Use two fingers to navigate',
    ctrlZoom  : 'Use ctrl + scroll to zoom the image',
    loadError : 'The panorama can\'t be loaded',
}

Various texts used in the viewer.

# loadingImg

  • type: string

Path to an image displayed in the center of the loading circle.

# loadingTxt

  • type: string
  • default: 'Loading...'

Text displayed in the center of the loading circle, only used if loadingImg is not provided.

# mousewheel

  • type: boolean
  • default: true

Enables zoom with the mouse wheel.

# mousemove

  • type: boolean
  • default: true

Enables panorama rotation with the mouse cursor or with a finger swipe on touch screens.

# mousewheelCtrlKey

# captureCursor

  • type: boolean
  • default: false

Rotate the panorama just by moving the cursor above the view instead of click+move.

# touchmoveTwoFingers

  • default: false

Requires two fingers to rotate the panorama. This allows standard touch-scroll navigation in the page containing the viewer. If enabled, an overlay asking the user to use two fingers is displayed when only one touch is detected.

# Advanced options

# sphereCorrection

  • type: { pan: double, tilt: double, roll: double }
  • default: { pan:0, tilt:0, roll: 0 }

Sphere rotation angles, in radians.

pan-tilt-toll

# moveSpeed

  • type: double
  • default 1

Speed multiplicator for manual moves.

# zoomButtonIncrement

  • type: double

Zoom increment when using the keyboard or the navbar buttons.

# mousewheelSpeed

  • type: double
  • default: 1

Zoom speed when using the mouse wheel.

# useXmpData

  • type: boolean
  • default true

Read real image size from XMP data, must be kept true if the panorama has been cropped after shot.

# panoData

panoData: {
  fullWidth: 6000,
  fullHeight: 3000,

  croppedHeight: 2000,
  croppedX: 1000,
  croppedY: 500
}

It can also be a function to dynamically compute the cropping config depending on the loaded image.

panoData: (image) => ({
  fullWidth    : image.width,
  fullHeight   : image.width / 2,
  croppedWidth : image.width,
  croppedHeight: image.height,
  croppedX     : 0,
  croppedY     : image.width / 2 - image.height,
})

# canvasBackground
