This avoids the 404 errors that would previously result.
A compact encoding is used, with `!` plus the face letter used to specify a
new face, `>` plus a base83-encoded number used to specify a new level, and a
list of base83-encoded numbers used to specify x and y tile coordinates, where
the base83 encoding uses the minimum number of characters to encode the
maximum tile number for the level in question. The base83 encoding is the same
as the one used for SHT hashes.
Spherical harmonic transform (SHT) previews are display instead of a solid
background color before the base multires tiles are loaded. If a thumbnail is
provided, it will be displayed instead of the SHT preview. If the thumbnail is
provided as a Base64-encoded string, the SHT preview may be briefly displayed,
since image loading is asynchronous, while the SHT preview is loaded
synchronously.
* Add scale option to hot spot
When `true`, the hot spot is scaled to match the fish eye effect of the image.
Hot spots then appear to be embedded in the panorama instead of floating on top.
* support also partial cubemap/fallback images: backgroundColor for missing face(s)
* extend multires/generate.py to cylindrical input and partial panoramas
* fixed a few typos in new help strings of generate.py
* Missing cubemap faces now need to be defined as null in the configuration
* made generate.py strict again on existing output directory, printing descriptive error message
* replaced unsafe eval by ast.literal_eval in generate.py
* a couple of minor improvements regarding 'undefined' in libpannellum.js
* made generate.py allow existing output directory in debug mode
for convenience, no need to delete output directory every time while testing
* prevent display of out-of-range areas of partial (cylindrical) panoramas
by adaping min/may yaw and max horizontal fov, this no background (empty space) shown
* improvements as requested: made view restrictions optional, etc.
* extend documentation to describe new avoidShowingBackground option
