I am trying to obtain a 360 view of a terrain rendered in VTK. I have come across `vtkPanoramicProjectionPass()` but I have not found any examples. Can anyone point to some example, ideally, using python bindings?

Hi @llobera ,
This is only used in ParaView for now, see this:
[https://www.kitware.com/generate-360-images-with-paraview/](https://www.kitware.com/generate-360-images-with-paraview/)
An example usage can be seen here:

@mwestphal In the tutorial you reference to it is possible to specify the type of projection and whether the angle we want to consider but I unfortunately I have been unable to find how to do so. In addition, what location does it take as the center around which the view is generated?
regards,
M

All of the methods are there:
[https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/blob/master/Plugins/PanoramicProjectionView/Views/vtkPVPanoramicProjectionView.h](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/blob/master/Plugins/PanoramicProjectionView/Views/vtkPVPanoramicProjectionView.h)
It probably use 0, 0, 0 as the center though.

Hi Mathieu,
What I was after was how to access the parameters in paraview? I was able to load the plugin and use the extension but was not able to figure out how I can access the parameters that appear mentioned in the [blog post](https://www.kitware.com/generate-360-images-with-paraview/) you sent earlier.

They are in the properties panel, View part.
