Panels

This page would discuss panels, which are simple html pages that you write that Omphalos will serve as a part of it's internal control panel.

Panels allow you to send messages to overlays or extensions, allowing you full control to get status information or take actions throughout your stream layout.

When the HTML for panels loads, it has default CSS rules applied for simple consistency; you are of course free to override any and all style rules as you see fit; the defaults are just to give a base to work from.

body {
    background: darkseagreen;
    color: darkslateblue;
    font-size: 32px;
}

When graphics load, window.omphalosConfig is set to the configuration under which omphalos is currently running. This is the same configuration as is loaded from the configuration files.

In addition, an API is set up via a load of /omphalos-api.js; this file is currently empty and so it does nothing, but one day it will have the code that provides the API that lets panels talk to other parts of the system.
