sendData

Parameter:

• sphereData (object): An object with many optional properties. This function may take actions using one or more of these properties, as indicated:

  • sphereLat and sphereLng (numbers): If both of these properties are passed, then the nearest sphere to the specified coordinates will be found and acted upon as follows:

    • The sphere found will be set as the active sphere and loaded

    • If lookAtLat and lookAtLng are also passed in the sphereData object, then they will be used to set the pan and tilt. The specified coordinates will be used to calculate a pixel viewable from the newly loaded sphere, and the sphere will be rotated such that that pixel will be in the center of the screen. See getData.

    • If lookAtLat and/or lookAtLng are not passed, then the default orientation will be used for the loaded sphere

  • cameraFov (number): The field of view will be set to the given value. See getFov.

  • cameraFovMin (number): If the specified value is greater than 5, then this function sets the minimum allowed field of view to the given value. See getFovRange.

  • cameraFovMax (number): If the specified value is less than 120, then this function sets the maximum allowed field of view to the given value. See getFovRange.

  • cameraZoom (number): The zoom level will be set to the given value. See getZoom.

  • cameraZoomMin (number): If the specified value is greater than 0, then this function sets the minimum allowed zoom level to the given value. See getZoomRange.

  • cameraZoomMax (number): If the specified value is greater than 0, then this function sets the maximum allowed zoom level to the given value. See getZoomRange.

  • title (string): The title of the active sphere will be updated to this value.

  • sphereMarkerDistance (number): The distance, in meters, for which sphere markers are displayed. The default is 4000. See setSphereMarkerDistance.

  • sphereMarkerList (Array<number>): The list of specific sphere markers to display, by sphere id. Ignores the distance defined by sphereMarkerDistance. See setSphereMarkerList.

  • customMarkerDistance(number): The distance, in meters, for which custom markers are displayed. See setCustomMarkerDistance.

  • customMarkerList(Array<number>): The list of specific custom markers to display, by custom marker id. Ignores the distance defined by customMarkerDistance. See setCustomMarkerList.

  • polygonDistance(number): The distance, in meters, for which sphere markers are displayed. The default is 4000. See setPolygonDistance

  • layers (name marked for deprecation) | markerLayers(array of objects): A layer, is an Array of markers. Each item in the array will be treated as a layer object. For each layer, the following will happen (see also getLayer):

    • Each of the layer’s markers that is missing an id will be assigned a uuid

    • The layer will be validated

    • The layer will be sanitized

  • polygonLayers(array of objects): A layer, is an Array of polygons. Each item in the array will be treated as a layer object. For each layer, the following will happen (see also getLayer):

    • Each of the layer’s markers that is missing an id will be assigned a uuid

    • The layer will be validated

    • The layer will be sanitized

  • autoRotate (object): If any of the following propertied are specified in the object, then they will be updated for the current sphere. See getData.

    • on (boolean): Whether or not the camera should be automatically rotating (ie, panning around the sphere)

    • speed (number): The speed of auto-rotation

    • right (boolean): If true, then rotate right. If false, then rotate left.

    • tilt (number): The tilt for the camera to rotate towards and then hold

    • fov (number): The field of view for the camera to rotate towards and then hold

  • viewerDisplayOrder(Array<string> | string): ['polygons', ‘texturedPolygons', ‘spheres', 'icons', 'text'] | 'objectDisplayOrder' Uses the 5 items in the array to determine rendering order. Requires all options to be passed but can be done in any order. If set to 'objectDisplayOrder’, every object controls its own render order.

  • growOnZoom (boolean): if true, markers will scale when zooming in on the viewer to simulate getting closer.

Returns: Nothing

Note: The field of view and zoom settings are complimentary. You should either set cameraFov, cameraFovMin, and cameraFov; or cameraZoom, cameraZoomMin, and cameraZoomMax; but not both sets of values.
