Full area smaller than cropped area in RFC xml spec example #39

Closed bhautikj closed 9 years ago

bhautikj commented 9 years ago

In appendix 1 of the rfc, the full area appears to be smaller than the cropped area:

  <GSpherical:CroppedAreaImageWidthPixels>1920</GSpherical:CroppedAreaImageWidthPixels>
  <GSpherical:CroppedAreaImageHeightPixels>1080</GSpherical:CroppedAreaImageHeightPixels>
  <GSpherical:FullPanoWidthPixels>1900</GSpherical:FullPanoWidthPixels>
  <GSpherical:FullPanoHeightPixels>960</GSpherical:FullPanoHeightPixels>
  <GSpherical:CroppedAreaLeftPixels>15</GSpherical:CroppedAreaLeftPixels>
  <GSpherical:CroppedAreaTopPixels>60</GSpherical:CroppedAreaTopPixels>

I feel like I'm missing something here - is this an error, or is there something I'm not understanding about how the cropped/full areas work? Is the 'full' area a resize of the total 'cropped' area once the left and top pixel offsets have been added? I'd love to see a diagram that lays these areas out if possible :)

Hi there,

The spec borrows a lot from the Photo Sphere Metadata spec. They have a nice diagram and more description of the indented usage.

@jprouty that's great - it clarifies a lot. Thanks!
