Using the Plug-in Viewer

The Plug-in Viewer works in 2D and 3D modes. The mode change occurs automatically, depending on the content you're viewing. The only difference you'll see is that some toolbar buttons will change.

The Plug-in Viewer operates in 2D mode when you're viewing a 2D Flashpix™ image. When viewing a 3D image object (IMOB), a vista, or any combination of images, objects, vistas, and other media (such as audio or video) the viewer automatically presents the content in 3D mode.

Toolbar buttons and keyboard shortcuts

If the toolbar is turned on, you'll see the iseemedia logo in the lower left corner of the viewer window. Click the logo to expand the toolbar.

Note: If the toolbar is turned off, you can use the keyboard shortcuts to zoom in and out, and to locate any hotspots.

The toolbar buttons that appear vary slightly between the view modes, depending on the content you're viewing. The following table describes the functions and keyboard shortcuts for each toolbar button.
