Panorama Plugin

This is a special video plugin that displays an image as a sliding panorama. The plugin can be used with version 0.1.74 or higher.

Usage

The plugin must be loaded with an image URL. Optionally, the sliding duration and the background color of the panorama image can be indicated. Please see following action syntax example.

• video:plugin:http://msx.benzac.de/plugins/panorama.html?url={URL}&duration={DURATION}&color={COLOR}

If you would like to use the plugin as reference to implement your own plugin, please have a look at this implementation script: http://msx.benzac.de/plugins/js/panorama.js.

Parameter syntax of image plugin

Parameter	Type	Default Value	Mandatory	Description
url	string	null	Yes	The URL of the panorama image. It is recommended to encode the value to ensure that it is evaluated correctly (e.g. "http://msx.benzac.de/media/pano1.jpg" → "http%3A%2F%2Fmsx.benzac.de%2Fmedia%2Fpano1.jpg").
duration	number|string	40	No	The sliding duration of the panorama image in seconds. You can also set this parameter to "slideshow" to use the slideshow interval settings from the application (Settings → Slideshow Interval). The following interval values can be set. Please note that the panorama plugin doubles the interval values. Very Fast: 2 sec Fast: 10 sec Normal: 20 sec Slow: 40 sec Very Slow: 80 sec
