Backdrop Plugin

This is a special interaction plugin that generates an atmospheric backdrop from an image (by extrating the main colors). The plugin can be used with version 0.1.82 or higher.

Usage

The plugin must be loaded with a data object that contains an image URL and optionally a type. Please see following action syntax example.

• interaction:load:http://msx.benzac.de/interaction/backdrop.html

{
    "url": "http://link.to.image",
    "type": 0
}

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/interaction/js/backdrop.js.
