Simple question about panoramas, Why must they have ends? |

Viewing the latest wonderful Home Plate mosaics prompts a thought that has often occurred to me before. Why isn't it possible to join up the ends of a panorama to allow for continuous panning in either direction? On the face of it this would seem to be a relatively simple thing (hugely less complicated than a full virtual reality package) and highly desirable for 360 degree views, yet it's never done. Can somebody explain to me where the catch lies?

I'll also add that I'm more than happy to add this feature to all the past and future 360 pans on my site (Including Lyell which is going to be one any sol now
 ) if Andy is happy to provide the code (with some fool proof instructions.  ) Full credit and kudos would of course be given.James -------------------- |
