<scene> & <global>

Description

The scene node contains the nodes that make up a single scene. A tour can contain multiple scene elements.

The global node is syntax equivalent to the scene node. Child elements of the global node are available in all scenes. As such, the global node can be used to specify common elements such as a user interface and branding for a set of panoramic scenes. If a scene contains a node with the same id as a node in the global node, the global version is overridden.

Syntax

<tour>
  <global src="globalfile.xml">
    ...
  </global>

  <scene id="someId" src="scenefile.xml">
    ...
  </scene>
  <scene id="someOtherId">
    ...
  </scene>
  ..
</tour>

Attributes

• id

  The scene is referenced by this unique id. Ignored for global nodes, required for scene nodes.

• src

The external file should be SPi-V XML file, and contain at least a single scene or global node.

Events

• enter

  Fires when the scene is entered, before any of the child elements are built.

• exit
