Once created, you can package the description file along with all your required images into a single packaged IVU file with either Package Maker or Batch Package Maker. Your packaged IVU files can also be encrypted with Package Crypter to protect the content from theft.

For more in-depth information about GUIs and Scripting, consult the PURE Player PRO for Java documentation. You can download this documentation here.

IVP is the name of ImmerVision Panoramas file format which is readable by Pure Player viewers. Four different extensions are related to the IVP format:

• * .ivp : Panoramas’ file extension
• * .ivl : Lens flare’s effect extension
• * .ivu : Graphical Interface’s file extension
• * .ivi : Images’ file extension

For more information about the IVP format, please consult the official IVP documentation.

The files (.ivp, .ivu, .ivl and .ivi) are XML files describing their content and providing the links to various resources (panoramas, images, sound, etc.). When the file is packed, all the resources and parameters are contained in a single IVP file, thus simplifying its publication. A single packed file can also be encrypted to protect its content.

The PURE TOOLS software suite allows you to create packaged IVP files. Here are two ways that it can be done:

• If you already have panoramas in the IVP format, you can pack them using the PURE TOOL Package Maker
• PURE TOOL Panorama Filemaker will automatically save your panoramas into a packed IVP file.

Yes. PURE Player supports many types of encryptions allowing the user to visualize their creation without having access to the content. To encrypt your IVP files, just pack your files and then use the PURE TOOL Package Crypter.

You CANNOT un-encrypt an encrypted IVP file. It is strongly recommended that authors always keep a NON-encrypted version of their work.

A great way to debug your panoramas and guis is to use the print() function. This function outputs to the Java console. In Windows, the Java console is located in your system tray.
By using this function in your panoramas and guis, you can monitor the values of your variables while viewing the panorama.

The Java console will also show where syntax errors have occured and display errors if certain files fails to load.
