There are a couple ways that this can be done. There’s an undocumented hot spot image parameter, which can be used instead of the hot spot text parameter to supply an image URL; it’s not very flexible and is poorly tested, which is why it’s undocumented and not officially supported. You could also use the createTooltipFunc / createTooltipArgs to create custom hot spot tool tips (see custom hot spots example) that could contain an image, but that’s quite a bit more complicated than just following directions.

Thanks for the great work. Pannellum is just what we needed.

I’ve had a request for a hotspot to present an image instead of text. Is it possible? I don’t know much about programming javascript, but I know how to follow directions. :)

You can specify whatever you like. There are two arguments passed to the clickHandlerFunc: the click event and the contents of clickHandlerArgs. For example, if you set clickHandlerArgs to be a string, the second argument passed to the clickHandlerFunc will be that string. The hot spot type does not matter.

“To record the view before the scene changes, you should use the clickHandlerFunc (and clickHandlerArgs) hot spot property to add an event listener that records the information you need and then calls loadScene instead of settings the sceneId hot spot property.”

That makes perfect sense, but I’m very stuck making the clickHandlerArgs work and can’t find a model/example. When defining the hotspot, after clickHandlerArgs: should I be specifying a string, or the name of an object? And does it matter what type (info or scene) the hotspot has?

Hope that makes sense. Thanks,
