New page

[[PTViewer]] is a [[Java]] applet for interactively displaying [[equirectangular]]
panoramas that is supplied as a file called <tt>ptviewer.jar</tt>.

Typically it is embedded in a web-page using ''applet'' or ''object'' HTML tags, the
<tt>ptviewer.jar</tt> file location is specified in the ''archive'' attribute:

<applet
archive="/path/to/ptviewer.jar"
code="ptviewer.class"
width="320"
height="200">
<param
name="file"
value="/the/path/to/panorama.jpg" />
</applet>

This causes problems with some [[Java]] virtual machines which require extra resources
such as the file <tt>panorama.jpg</tt> to be in the same folder as the applet itself
(or in a subfolder) � Generally web-site creators place the [[JAR]] archive and
[[JPEG]] image in the same directory as the HTML, then specify the locations without
full paths:

<applet
archive="ptviewer.jar"
code="ptviewer.class"
width="320"
height="200">
<param
name="file"
value="panorama.jpg" />
</applet>

To avoid having superfluous copies of the applet on a server for every directory, you can use this apache
directive to make it appear that a single copy appears to exist throughout the site:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (^|/)ptviewer\.jar$ /websites/mysite/html/ptviewer.jar

(replace <tt>/websites/mysite/html/ptviewer.jar</tt> with the system path on
''your'' server)

This requires apache with ''mod_rewrite'' enabled. You can place the directive in the
<tt>httpd.conf</tt> configuration file or in a <tt>.</tt><tt>htaccess</tt> file in the root of your site.
