Thank you for your interest in the Panodome toolkit. Panodome is a DLL that
allows you to present cylindrical panoramas in your application. Key points
of Panodome are that it uses a highly efficient internal engine which
creates a realistic perspective mapping and that it allows you, as the
programmer, to control many aspects of the operation of Panodome or of the
interaction of the user with the panorama.

See PANODOME.PDF for a complete description.

This is an evaluation version. The evaluation version may be distributed in
its entirity. Commercial information is at the bottom of this file.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
----------------

Panodome is a toolkit for embedding views of cylindrical panoramic images
into an application. Making a standard panoramic image navigator with
Panodome requires only a few simple function calls. Panodome also lets you
extent the viewer and combine it with sound and animation toolkits, in order
to create lively panoramas, or to make interactive games.


FEATURES
--------

o  High performance, critical routines hand-optimized in assembler.

o  Combines with EGI (a frame animation toolkit), AniSprite (a sprite
   animation toolkit) and many other graphic and animation libraries.

o  Support for hot spots (which generate events) and tooltip or balloon
   text on these hot spots.

o  Free pan, tilt and zoom.

o  Compass orientation.

o  Partial cylinders, horizon correction, ...

o  Multiple concurrent panoramic views.

o  Windows DLL interface, libraries/definition files for C/C++.

o  Many configuration options; both low level and high level functions.

o  Source code is available.
