Adding your panoramas to web pages


You can automatically create a web page containing your panorama at the same time you save your image.   These instructions will also work for ordinary images.

To save your image, use the Save current image as... command (File menu).  This command runs the Save Image As dialog box.  You use the controls under the Web page heading on this dialog box to create and update web pages containing your image.

Creating a new web page

The first time you save your image, you’ll probably create a new web page.  Select Create new web page from template.  You can leave the name of the web page blank to create a web page with the same name as your image file.  Select a template from the Template for new web pages dropdown list.  If you’d like to see what the web page will look like, press the Preview button to display a sample web page in your computer’s web browser.

Updating an image previously placed in a web page by The Panorama Factory

If you update the image in The Panorama Factory, you’ll need to update the image in the web page.  Select Update existing web page and enter the name of the web page (HTML file) or use the Browse... button to use the Open dialog box to select the name of the web page.  You can update the image only if (1) the image was put into the web page by The Panorama Factory and (2) the name of the image file is the same as the name used when you put the image into the web page.

Updating an image in a web page only affects the image itself.  Title and description text is unaffected.  If you want to change the title and/or description, you must either create a new web page or edit the web page with a text editor or web page editor.

Inserting a new image into an existing web page

If you want to insert the image into an existing web page, you can use the following instructions.  This method works for web pages created with The Panorama Factory and also for web pages created outside The Panorama Factory.  You’ll need to be familiar with editing web pages in order to follow these instructions.

1.      Open your web page in any text editor or web page editor.

2.      Add the text =image= where you want your image to appear.  This special code must be ordinary text.  Placing it inside HTML markup may produce unexpected results.

3.      Select Update existing web page and enter the name of the web page (HTML file) or use the Browse... button to use the Open dialog box to select the name of the web page. 

This method only inserts the image itself.  Title and description text are not inserted into the web page.  If you want to add a title and/or description, you must do that by editing edit the web page.
