It is also possible to pan and tilt the view simply by left-clicking with the mouse in the
image, whereupon the image centers on the clicked position. To zoom in or out, either use
the mouse wheel, or right-click in the image and select the operation from the menu that
appears. Selecting Zoom in or Zoom out will change the zoom in steps, whereas selecting
Maximize view will zoom the image all the way out.
To go to an existing Preset position select it from the drop-down list to the left. The view
automatically changes to that position. See the following for information on setting up
preset positions.
To save a JPEG snapshot of the current view, click the button provided. This will open a
dialog asking where the image should be saved. Select the location and click Save.
Setting up Preset Postions
A preset position is a defined and saved configuration that steers the panorama view to a
pre-configured area of interest. Up to 16 preset positions can be configured.
Preset positions are configured in the Administration tools, by clicking Panorama>PTZ
Presets. To set up a new preset, steer the view to the desired position, by clicking in the
image or by using the Pan Tilt and Zoom bars. When at the desired position, enter a
descriptive name in the field for Current Position and then click the Save button.
To set a position as the Home position (that is, the default position that is assumed
whenever the Panorama is viewed), position the view as desired, check the box for Use
current position as Home and finally, click the Save button. Any existing position named
Home will be overwritten.
The Preset position time, configurable from 0.0 to 2.0 seconds, determines how quickly
the view changes when selecting another preset position.
The Click time is similar to the Preset position time above, but describes instead how
quickly the view will change when clicking in the image.
