Clientside. Detailed tutorial "how to create your own planets" There are those special moments in the life of a photographer that suddenly change your view on your hobby (or profession). Here are some of the more notable for me: getting my first analog SLR (Nikon N2000/F301 in 1988) getting my first digital camera (Kodak DC120 in 1997) Discovering a software that could stitch together photos into a seamless panorama (MGI PhotoVista 2.0 in 2002) Discovering the rather simple instructions on “How to create your own planets” To make a long story short: The “Polar Panorama Effect” is one of my favourite ways to process photos into unique pieces of art.

It takes a panoramic (or at least a landscape-ish) photo and uses the Polar Coordinates filter of Photoshop or The Gimp to create a circular image that seems to wrap the panorama around a planet. Here are two samples for you to get an idea: Planet “San Michele, Venice”: Planet “Manhattan NYC”: Selecting a Panorama or Photo for Your Planet Simple Sample: Planet “San Francisco” Step 3: Rotate and clean up. Vitamin - A resource for web developers, designers and entrepreneurs. Using Prototype 1.4. Last update: August 18th 2007 Table of Contents What is that?

In case you haven't already used it, prototype.js is a JavaScript library initially written by Sam Stephenson. This amazingly well thought and well written piece of standards-compliant code takes a lot of the burden associated with creating rich, highly interactive web pages that characterize the Web 2.0 off your back. When I first started trying to use this library, a few years ago, I noticed that the documentation was definitely not one of its strongest points. As many other developers before me, I got my head around prototype.js by reading the source code and experimenting with it. I'm also offering an un-official reference for the objects, classes, functions, and extensions provided by this library. As you read the examples and the reference, developers familiar with the Ruby programming language will notice an intentional similarity between Ruby's built-in classes and many of the extensions implemented by this library.
