Yes there is. You need to use the FOV, Pitch and Yaw properties on the control - they are documented here: http://research.microsoft.com/ivm/HDView/HowDone/HDXMLspec.htm
If you are using the example web-page from the HD View Utilities download. Then do the following:
- Have the web page load your xml/image file
- Adjust the view to what you would like and select 'save specific view'
- Copy the generated URL to the clipboard
- Edit the web page and paste in the FOV=F&Pitch=P&Yaw=Y portion of the URL.
For example the script portion of the example file might now read:
<script type="text/javascript">
var args;
if ( top.location.search == "" ) {
args = 'FileName=HDView-Example.xml&BackgroundColor=0&FOV=30&Pitch=5&Yaw=10';
}
else {
args = top.location.search.substring(1);
}
hdv = new hdvHost("hdvControl", "hdvDiv", "100%", "90%", top.location.href, args);
</script>
