# JSON Configuration File Options ## General options ### `type` (string) This specifies the panorama type. Can be `equirectangular`, `cubemap`, or `multires`. Defaults to `equirectangular`. ### `title` (string) If set, the value is displayed as the panorama's title. If no title is desired, don't set this parameter. ### `author` (string) If set, the value is displayed as the panorama's author. If no author is desired, don't set this parameter. ### `basePath` (string) This specifies a base path to load the images from. ### `autoLoad` (boolean) When set to `true`, the panorama will automatically load. When `false`, the user needs to click on the load button to load the panorama. Defaults to `false`. ### `autoRotate` (number) Setting this parameter causes the panorama to automatically rotate when loaded. The value specifies the rotation speed in degrees per second. Positive is counter-clockwise, and negative is clockwise. ### `autoRotateInactivityDelay` (number) Sets the delay, in milliseconds, to start automatically rotating the panorama after user activity ceases. This parameter only has an effect if the `autoRotate` parameter is set. ### `autoRotateStopDelay` (number) Sets the delay, in milliseconds, to stop automatically rotating the panorama after it is loaded. This parameter only has an effect if the `autoRotate` parameter is set. ### `fallback` (string) If set, the value is used as a URL for a fallback viewer in case Pannellum is not supported by the user's device. The user will be given the option to click a link and visit this URL if Pannellum fails to work. ### `orientationOnByDefault` (boolean) If set to `true`, device orientation control will be used when the panorama is loaded, if the device supports it. If false, device orientation control needs to be activated by pressing a button. Defaults to `false`. ### `showZoomCtrl` (boolean) If set to `false`, the zoom controls will not be displayed. Defaults to `true`. ### `keyboardZoom` (boolean) If set to `false`, zooming with keyboard will be disabled. Defaults to `true`. ### `mouseZoom` (boolean or string) If set to `false`, zooming with mouse wheel will be disabled. Defaults to `true`. Can also be set to `fullscreenonly`, in which case it is only enabled when the viewer is fullscreen. ### `draggable` (boolean) If set to `false`, mouse and touch dragging is disabled. Defaults to `true`. ### `showFullscreenCtrl` (boolean) If set to `false`, the fullscreen control will not be displayed. Defaults to `true`. The fullscreen button will only be displayed if the browser supports the fullscreen API. ### `showControls` (boolean) If set to `false`, no controls are displayed. Defaults to `true`. ### `yaw` (number) Sets the panorama's starting yaw position in degrees. Defaults to `0`. ### `pitch` (number) Sets the panorama's starting pitch position in degrees. Defaults to `0`. ### `hfov` (number) Sets the panorama's starting horizontal field of view in degrees. Defaults to `100`. ### `minYaw` and `maxYaw` (number) Sets the minimum / maximum yaw the viewer edge can be at, in degrees. Defaults to `-180` / `180`, i.e. no limit. ### `minPitch` and `maxPitch` (number) Sets the minimum / maximum pitch the viewer edge can be at, in degrees. Defaults to `undefined`, so the viewer center can reach `-90` / `90`. ### `minHfov` and `maxHfov` (number) Sets the minimum / maximum horizontal field of view, in degrees, that the viewer can be set to. Defaults to `50` / `120`. ### `compass` (boolean) If `true`, a compass is displayed. Normally defaults to `false`; defaults to `true` if heading information is present in Photo Sphere XMP metadata. ### `northOffset` (number) Set the offset, in degrees, of the center of the panorama from North. As this affects the compass, it only has an effect if `compass` is set to `true`. ### `preview` (string) Specifies a URL for a preview image to display before the panorama is loaded. ### `previewTitle` (string) Specifies the title to be displayed while the load button is displayed. ### `previewAuthor` (string) Specifies the author to be displayed while the load button is displayed. ### `loadButtonLabel` (string) Label to display on load button. Defaults to `Click to Load Panorama`. ### `horizonPitch` and `horizonRoll` (number) Specifies pitch / roll of image horizon, in degrees (for correcting non-leveled panoramas). ### `animationTimingFunction` (function) [API only] This specifies a timing function to be used for animating movements such as when the `lookAt` method is called. The default timing function is `easeInOutQuad`. If a custom function is specified, it should take a number [0, 1] as its only argument and return a number [0, 1]. ### `escapeHTML` (boolean) When true, HTML is escaped from configuration strings to help mitigate possible DOM XSS attacks. This is always `true` when using the standalone viewer since the configuration is provided via the URL; it defaults to `false` but can be set to `true` when using the API. ### `hotSpots` (array) This specifies an array of hot spots that can be links to other scenes, information, or external links. Each array element has the following properties. #### `pitch` (number) Specifies the pitch portion of the hot spot's location, in degrees. #### `yaw` (number) Specifies the yaw portion of the hot spot's location, in degrees. #### `type` (string) Specifies the type of the hot spot. Can be `scene` for scene links or `info` for information hot spots. A tour configuration file is required for `scene` hot spots. #### `text` (string) This specifies the text that is displayed when the user hovers over the hot spot. #### `URL` (string) If specified for an `info` hot spot, the hot spot links to the specified URL. Not applicable for `scene` hot spots. #### `sceneId` (string) Specifies the ID of the scene to link to for `scene` hot spots. Not applicable for `info` hot spots. #### `targetPitch` (number) Specifies the pitch of the target scene, in degrees. Can also be set to `same`, which uses the current pitch of the current scene as the initial pitch of the target scene. #### `targetYaw` (number) Specifies the yaw of the target scene, in degrees. Can also be set to `same` or `sameAzimuth`. These settings use the current yaw of the current scene as the initial yaw of the target scene; `same` uses the current yaw directly, while `sameAzimuth` takes into account the `northOffset` values of both scenes to maintain the same direction with regard to north. #### `targetHfov` (number) Specifies the HFOV of the target scene, in degrees. #### `id` Specifies hot spot ID, for use with API's `removeHotSpot` function. #### `cssClass` (string) If specified, string is used as the CSS class for the hot spot instead of the default CSS classes. #### `createTooltipFunc` (function) and `createTooltipArgs` (object) If `createTooltipFunc` is specified, this function is used to create the hot spot tooltip DOM instead of the default function. The contents of `createTooltipArgs` are passed to the function as arguments. #### `clickHandlerFunc` (function) and `clickHandlerArgs` (object) If `clickHandlerFunc` is specified, this function is added as an event handler for the hot spot's `click` event. The event object and the contents of `clickHandlerArgs` are passed to the function as arguments. ### `hotSpotDebug` (boolean) When `true`, the mouse pointer's pitch and yaw are logged to the console when the mouse button is clicked. Defaults to `false`. ### `sceneFadeDuration` (number) Specifies the fade duration, in milliseconds, when transitioning between scenes. Not defined by default. Only applicable for tours. Only works with WebGL renderer. ## `equirectangular` specific options ### `panorama` (string) Sets the URL to the equirectangular panorama image. This is relative to `basePath` if it is set, else it is relative to the location of `pannellum.htm`. An absolute URL can also be used. ### `haov` (number) Sets the panorama's horizontal angle of view, in degrees. Defaults to `360`. This is used if the equirectangular image does not cover a full 360 degrees in the horizontal. ### `vaov` (number) Sets the panorama's vertical angle of view, in degrees. Defaults to `180`. This is used if the equirectangular image does not cover a full 180 degrees in the vertical. ### `vOffset` (number) Sets the vertical offset of the center of the equirectangular image from the horizon, in degrees. Defaults to `0`. This is used if `vaov` is less than `180` and the equirectangular image is not cropped symmetrically. ### `ignoreGPanoXMP` (boolean) If set to `true`, any embedded Photo Sphere XMP data will be ignored; else, said data will override any existing settings. Defaults to `false`. ### `backgroundColor` ([number, number, number]) Specifies an array containing RGB values [0, 1] that sets the background color shown past the edges of a partial panorama. Defaults to `[0, 0, 0]` (black). ## `cubemap` specific options ### `cubeMap` This is an array of URLs for the six cube faces in the order front, right, back, left, up, down. These are relative to `basePath` if it is set, else they are relative to the location of `pannellum.htm`. Absolute URLs can also be used. ## `multires` specific options ### `multiRes` This contains information about the multiresolution panorama in sub-keys. #### `basePath` (string) This is the base path of the URLs for the multiresolution tiles. It is relative to the regular `basePath` option if it is defined, else it is relative to the location of `pannellum.htm`. An absolute URL can also be used. #### `path` (string) This is a format string for the location of the multiresolution tiles, relative to `multiRes.basePath`, which is relative to `basePath`. Format parameters are `%l` for the zoom level, `%s` for the cube face, `%x` for the x index, and `%y` for the y index. For each tile, `.extension` is appended. #### `fallbackPath` (string) This is a format string for the location of the fallback tiles for the CSS 3D transform-based renderer if the WebGL renderer is not supported, relative to `multiRes.basePath`, which is relative to `basePath`. The only format parameter is `%s`, for the cube face. For each face, `.extension` is appended. #### `extension` (string) Specifies the tiles' file extension. Do not include the `.`. #### `tileResolution` (number) This specifies the size in pixels of each image tile. #### `maxLevel` (number) This specifies the maximum zoom level. #### `cubeResolution` (number) This specifies the size in pixels of the full resolution cube faces the image tiles were created from. ## Dynamic content specific options Currently, only equirectangular dynamic content is supported. ### `dynamic` (boolean) The panorama source is considered dynamic when this is set to `true`. Defaults to `false`. This should be set to `true` for video. ## Additional information for tour configuration files A tour configuration file contains two top level properties, `default` and `scenes`. The `default` property contains options that are used for each scene, but options specified for individual scenes override these options. The `default` property is required to have a `firstScene` property that contains the scene ID for the first scene to be displayed. The `scenes` property contains a dictionary of scenes, specified by scene IDs. The values assigned to these IDs are specific to each scene.
