The problem exists when you set the language used by The Panorama
Factory to one that uses "," as the decimal separator for numbers (e.g.
-41,67). In English, the decimal separator is "." (e.g. -41.67).
The Panorama Factory implements automatic rotation through JavaScript
statements included in the HTML file. JavaScript always follows the English convention, even if the local
language uses a different convention.
The Panorama Factory must display numbers to the user (e.g. on dialog
boxes) with the correct decimal separator according to the local language
setting. However, it should always use "." for JavaScript regardless of
the local language. Unfortunately, the QTVR export function doesn't
change the decimal separator from "," to "." the way it should.
There are two possible workarounds for this problem
If you prefer not to change to English or if
you have already saved the QTVR image and do not want to save it again,
you must manually edit the HTML code written by The Panorama Factory.
You can edit the HTML file using an HTML editor (e.g. Microsoft Frontpage)
or using any text editor (e.g. Notepad or Wordpad).
To correct the problem, you must change the
HTML line containing "autopan=". For example, if your panoramic
image is named "yourimage.mov", the auotpan line would be something like
this:
document.yourimage.autopan =
window.setInterval('{var d = new Date(); document.yourimage.SetPanAngle (document.yourimage.GetPanAngle() + (d.getTime()-document.yourimage.autotime)
/ -41,67); document.yourimage.autotime=d.getTime()}', 25);
This line contains the number "-41,67" to set
the speed of rotation expressed in milliseconds per degree. So to get a
full rotation (360 degrees) in x seconds, you set the value to
1000 * x / 360
For 15 seconds (i.e. 4 revolutions per minute):
1000 * 15 / 360 = 41.67
The number in your HTML file may be different
if you have set a different rotation speed.
Edit the line to change the "," in the decimal
number to a "." as shown in the following line:
document.yourimage.autopan =
window.setInterval('{var d = new Date(); document.yourimage.SetPanAngle (document.yourimage.GetPanAngle() + (d.getTime()-document.yourimage.autotime)
/ -41.67); document.yourimage.autotime=d.getTime()}',
25);
