I have been using this ...MEMORY Parameters Details<br /><br />I have been using this WONDERFUL java software for preparing GoogleEarth based panoramas for some months now, and I LOVE IT! THANK YOU to the developer and to all users who provide useful feedback!<br /><br />Here is a recent challenge that I have learned to overcome:<br /><br />I'm working with large .JPG panorama images, some are larger than 150 MB. The program does not spawn errors to screen when it fails on a large file.<br /><br />If you edit the batch file<br />--<br />start javaw -Xms512M -Xmx1024M -jar photooverlaycreator.jar<br />exit<br />--<br />and remove the "w" from the "javaw" command, you'll get a CMD window that displays errors and status in it.<br />This will show you a "out of Heap Memory" error when the file size gets to big for the allocated memory to handle.<br /><br />SO, i tried increasing the "-Xmx1024M" to "-Xmx2048M", but this fails immediately.<br /><br />The value that is working for me now is<br />"-Xmx1280M"<br />and it's working quite well for the files I'm processing, perfectly normal operation.<br /><br />BTW, earlier docs for java indicate a "BigApps" parameter, but this fails completely, so I'm guessing that it's obsolete in recent java versions.<br /><br />HOPE THIS HELPS other panorama addicts, I'm very proud of the OpenSource community worldwide for being so, well so OPEN!<br /><br />Regards,<br />ixboat<br />http://www.steamboat3d.com<br /><br />http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/search?q=ixboat&styp=m&btnG=Search&scoring=dAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9986652.post-9733405917771320732009-07-17T16:42:02.915+01:002009-07-17T16:42:02.915+01:00if you drop richard milton a email (find him via t...if you drop richard milton a email (find him via the people page at casa.ucl.ac.uk) he should be able to help on a server solution. :)Smitheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14438995722623173539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9986652.post-76602596907378096642009-07-16T08:14:26.553+01:002009-07-16T08:14:26.553+01:00Hi,

PhotoOverlay has proven to be a powerful, useful tool. I do have one inquiry however. Currently I am working on an area in Google Earth and inserting many spherical and cylindrical panoramas into a small space. Because the spheres that hover in space are so large, the area has become quite cluttered. Is it possible that I could create a smaller icon such as those used for placemarks that, when clicked, loaded up the .kml panorama? As well, I cannot seem to get my cylindrical panoramas to completely encircle themselves. That is they look like a soup can with a vertical slot cut out of it (I am using a 360 degree jpeg for the image). Is this the right view?<BR/>Thanks so much and keep up the good work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9986652.post-26907348344039243422008-04-25T16:37:00.000+01:002008-04-25T16:37:00.000+01:00HiGreat tool, have been having some fun with it, b...Hi<BR/><BR/>Great tool, have been having some fun with it, but have experienced a problem now. It worked fine the first few times I used it, now when I create a spherical Panorama although the panorama itself views ok, the thumbnail in the nav window top right show a image which is 3/4 black and shows the whole pano image in the top left quarter?

Have trouble launching from the web though. I modified the kml for tile location and posted to the web www.dylansurridge.com/5/5.kml for some reason it just displays text. I tried zipping up kml and tiles and naming it kmz but it kept crashing with errors. I managed to get something online by using the email feature from earth which sort of works on some browsers, but im sure its not the right way www.dylansurridge.com/5/5.kml.kmz<BR/>Thoughts? Also any way to amke the fov wider for the pan?<BR/>Cheers<BR/>Dylandylanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05091755641665214058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9986652.post-20001464617994739832007-10-26T21:05:00.000+01:002007-10-26T21:05:00.000+01:00looks good.we've got over 3000 of these PhotoOverl...looks good.<BR/><BR/>we've got over 3000 of these PhotoOverlay panoramas on Google Earth now which you can see here: http://www.360cities.net/ge.kml<BR/><BR/>Anyone who is a serious Panorama Photographer is welcome to join our network.

Good work and you deserve a pint or two!<BR/><BR/>I have done a danish review and example with your tool <A HREF="http://www.microformats.dk/2007/10/26/photooverlay-creator-til-google-earth-42/" REL="nofollow"></A> - not with a fancy 360 panorama photo, but a simple rectangle photo.<BR/><BR/>A minor bug is that when you in description field "PhotoOverlay Data" write danish charaters "æ,ø,å" - they are not showing up in the generated KML file properly (looks strange). However I fix it with open the KML in a Text Editor and then fix the "æ,ø,å" charaters there<BR/><BR/>best regards<BR/>/Soren Johannessen<BR/>Copenhagen DenmarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9986652.post-30561335957508310812007-10-26T07:42:00.000+01:002007-10-26T07:42:00.000+01:00Hey!

I'm very pleased with the product. Here's my first result: <A HREF="http://ron.outcrop.org/qtvr/Tenaya4096.kml" REL="nofollow">West Shore of Tenaya Lake, Yosemite National Park</A><BR/><BR/>Only one minor complaint/feature request: Please add a box in the program where one can specify the heading of the initial view in the photo. This would be especially valuable for outdoor panoramas where one wants to match the topography to the panorama - one can compare these by using the transparency slider. I had to do this manually by editing the KML file that was output by the program.<BR/><BR/>Thanks very much.
