Java Viewer 4.0

This release of the IPIX Java Viewer 4.0 contains several new features which are designed to allow our users greater flexibility in customizing their content for individual web sites. Among these features are customizable splash screen graphics (with background colors & logos), customizable help page links, and an optional, minimalist toolbar. Click here for help with the 3.x applets.

IPIX branding is subtle, consisting only of a "Powered by IPIX" tag under the splash logo, and an IPIX label on the optional zoom toolbar tab.

Download size for the .jar file is a slim 47Kb. making this a very compact viewer for the end user to download.

You must use either IPIX® Wizard 2.3, IPIX® Builder 4.1, or IPIX Interactive Studio to create high-resolution Full 360° images that you wish to view with the IPIX® Java® Viewer.

Embed the Java Full 360° image onto your Web page using the IPIX® Java Applet 4.0. With this code, you must have the .jar file in the same folder as your html page that uses the code below.

Adding a codebase line to the applet lets you store the .jar file in one place and reference them from any page on your Web site. This code requires the Full 360° image and the Web page to be in the same directory. To maintain compatibility with older browsers, the codebase line should contain an absolute address to the directory of the applet as shown below:
