SphereViewer was build with:
var isMobile = window.devicePixelRatio!==1;
// defining options
var config = {
// providing multiple images for the pre-loader
sphere: ['img/sphere/preloader.jpg', 'img/sphere/hd.jpg'],
// (optional) setting up a logo, which will be displayed at the bottom
// of the sphere, which is usefull for hiding the triopod
logo:'img/logo.png',
// (optional) defining hint, which will be displayed in the center
// of the screen and is hidden after the user clicks/taps the screen
hint: isMobile ? 'img/sphere-icon-mobile.png' : 'img/sphere-icon-desktop.png',
// (optional) overriding the default control config
control: {
autoRotate: true
},
// (optional) overidding the default spinner config
spinner: {
groupRadius: 20
},
// (optional) defining what the close button should contain
//
// The HTML specified here will be placed inside a <div>
// we can the style it as we wish via CSS.
// When user clicks/taps the button, the sphere will close
// and dispatch 'closed' event
// If this param is ommited from config, the close button will not be displayed
closeButton: {
html: '<i class="cmdCloseSphere material-icons">highlight_off</i>'
},
// (optional) Here we could override the default THREE.js UV mapping, by providing a mapper function
// uvMapper: (geometry) => { ... doing some custom UV mapping ... }
};
// creating a new instance of the viewer
// ... the viewer will automaticall be appended to <body> and displayed
var viewer = new SphereViewer.Viewer(config);
// adding event handlers:
viewer.addEventListener('close', function() { console.log('sphere closed'); });
