Starting position

[codecowboy]

Is there a way to have the panorama initialise on the front image rather than the back? I guess this could be done by re-sorting the image array?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. The "spectator" point is placed in the center of a cube, creating a feeling of the viewer being within the scene. If you'd like to view the scene as a cube from the outside, just translate the viewing point to be outside the scene (more than 512px in any direction) and you'll get a scene "wrapped" on a cube.

When the panorama loads, I would like it to start with the front image, not the back. The spectator will remain in the centre. If you look at http://testing.lukem.co.uk, the page loads with a view of the sun flaring. I would like the page to initialise with this view http://testing.lukem.co.uk/panorama-ally-pally/PANO_20131110_141430.front.jpg. Hope that makes sense
?

Got it. You mean the initial view of the panorama.
Use the lon and lat parameters to set the intial view to the desired angel, bot horizontally and vertically.
Also, both links load looking at the same view (not the sun flare, but the city view).

Could you give me an example? This, for example, has no effect:

       ``` $('#pano').leanorama({
         /* ... params ... */
            sides : imgSides,
            lon: 180,
            lat: 90
        });```

Hi,
I've tested this against your panorama, Setting lat: 90 is useless in your case, but lon: 180 does exactly what you were trying to do.

Also, on a sidenote, this panorama doesn't seem to be 360x180. You might want to try these settings instead:

$('#pano').leanorama({
            sides : imgSides,
            lon: 180,
            scale: 2.2,
            limit: { top: 0, bottom: 0 }
        });

Thanks. the lon parameter seems to have no effect on Chrome Canary Version 33.0.1705.0 canary. Setting it to 360 seems to get me what I wanted in Safari. Am on OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.5

Sorry for the stupid question, but have you cleared your cache?

[codecowboy]

yes, tried that - I also just installed the standard Chrome build for Mac (Version 30.0.1599.101) and lon also has no effect

Don't want to utter the cliche, but it works fine on my machine :) If you'll bug me later today or tomorrow, I will take a closer look.
