pan0
pan0 is a spherical panorama viewer, based on Flash 9 and Papervision3D engine and meant to be embedded in a web page.
pan0 is the new name of the formerly known fspp - Flash Spherical Panorama Player since version 0.10.
pan0 is the engine of pan0.net.
pan0's goals are to be simple, effective and easy to use player for spherical panoramas.

</object>Parameters are not required. If you omit them they will have default values. In the example above only panoSrc parameter has been set.Use & to separate parameters.
Note:
The parameters that are passed to pan0 are the ones after the "?" (and there are 2 fragments, one for the <object> and one for the <embed> tag, this is because of browser compatibility)
Do not confuse allowFullScreen parameter that is passed to Flash Player (it doesn't need to be modified) with the one that is passed to pan0.
| Parameter | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| panoSrc | pano.jpg | Panorama image to display. Must be in equirectangular projection. |
| tesselation | 30 | Tesselation of the sphere where panorama image is projected. More is smoother, but slower. |
| PA | 0 | Initial pitch angle in degrees. Default points to the horizon. |
| minPA | -90 | Minimal pitch angle in degrees. Default points to the nadir. |
| maxPA | 90 | Maximal pitch angle in degrees. Default points to the zenith. Note: If you set minPA and maxPA to 0 you can display cylindrical panoramas with pan0 |
| (Removed since 0.03) zoom | 1.5 | Initial zoom. |
| (Removed since 0.03) minZoom | 1 | Minimal zoom. |
| (Removed since 0.03) maxZoom | 5 | Maximal zoom. |
| (Added in 0.03) FOV | 70 | Vertical field of view in degrees |
| (Added in 0.03) minFOV | 40 | Minimal vertical field of view in degrees |
| (Added in 0.03) maxFOV | 120 | Maximal vertical field of view in degrees |
| (Added in 0.10) mirrorImage | false | Mirror image horizontally. For compatibility with versions before 0.10, which had a bug and displayed horizontal flipped panorama. |
| allowFullScreen | true | Allow fullscreen mode. |

this is for compatibility with old versions
- added help panel
- added pan0.net logo
- added double click toggle fullscreen functionality
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
29.07.08 0.03 - removed zoom, minZoom, maxZoom parameters, they are obsolete now
- added commandline parameters:
FOV - set initial vertical field of view in degrees, default = 70
minFOV - set minimal FOV, default = 40
maxFOV - set maximal FOV, default = 120
- field of view now is consistent, regardless of windows size or fullscreen mode
- added load progress indicator
- Papervision3D engine is now bundled with the source for easier maintaining
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
09.06.08 0.02 added commandline parameters:
tesselation - tesselation of the pano sphere - default = 30, more is smoother,
but slower
PA - initial pitch angle - default = 0 degrees, points to horizon
minPA - min pitch angle - default = -90 degrees, camera points to nadir
maxPA - max pitch angle - default = 90 degrees, camera points to zenith
zoom - initial zoom - default = 1.5
minZoom - min camera zoom - default = 1
maxZoom - max camera zoom - default = 5
allowFullScreen - allow fullscreen mode - default = true
