[doc/question] config and panorama parameter #423

Closed strarsis closed 7 years ago

strarsis commented 7 years ago

What exactly is the difference between config and panorama parameters? panorama is meant only for single equirectangular panoramas while config parameter can be used for a whole tour config file? Can an equirectangular panorama loaded by panorama parameter also contain scenes or hotSpots?

This is already documented: config: https://github.com/mpetroff/pannellum/blob/master/doc/url-config-parameters.md panorama: https://github.com/mpetroff/pannellum/blob/master/doc/json-config-parameters.md#panorama-string

The panorama parameter is for a URL to an equirectangular image, while the config parameter is for a URL to a JSON configuration file. As the panorama parameter is for an image URL, it can't contain anything besides a single image; if you want anything else, you need to use the panorama parameter inside a JSON configuration file instead of as a URL parameter.
