Deep Zoom Sample with MouseWheel / Pan / Click-Zoom

  • Artikkeli

Hi everyone,
One of the most frequent requests you all have made has been for samples that showcase taking the output from a Deep Zoom Composer project and integrating it with the MultiScaleImage control to have a cool example. We provided an example of that in the previous post. That example only included mouse wheel support but nothing else. In this post we not only incorporate mousewheel support for zooming but we also incorporate using the mouse to pan and clicking/Shift+clicking to zoom in or zoom out thanks to the nice work by Scott Hanselman.

The following example includes everything you need plus a sample Deep Zoom image containing some Vista wallpapers I arranged and exported via the Deep Zoom Composer:

slproject Download Sample

The sample solution contains both a C# Silverlight project as well as a Web Site project:

projectInfo

In your Web Site project, inside your ClientBin folder, you will see a folder called vistaWallpapers. The vistaWallpapers folder contains the images, xml, and bin files Deep Zoom Composer (DZC) output.

To reuse this sample for your own projects, delete the vistaWallpapers folder and import your own folder containing the DZC output. Once you have done that, open Page.xaml in your Silverlight project and change the source of your MultiScaleImage control to point to your new folder and its info.bin file in your Web Site project:

path

Once you have replaced your images and changed the path to the images in Page.xaml, build your project and view your DeepZoomOutput.html page in your browser. Things should just work...if they don't, please feel free to comment below and I'll take a look!

Cheers!
Kirupa =)

    Thanks for the update! I've been working on some example code also: http://www.soulsolutions.com.au/Blog/tabid/73/EntryID/394/Default.aspx So the next sample we all want is the filtering and rearranging of the images themselves. I've been searching everywhere and can't find anything? any tips or samples on how to do things with the collection? John.

    John - hopefully filtering / moving things with collections will be the next one :)

    Hi guys. Great work and very easy to use. I'm wondering if there's any constrain or issue with using your example, or modified in my own projects. Cheers!

    I downloaded the DeepZoomOutput and when I try to open it in VS 2008, I get the error: The project file "<path>DeepZoomOuptut.csproj" cannot be opened. The project type is not supported by this installation. I was able to download and open the FurnitureShowroom project.. Any advice is appreciated. Mark

    Mark again... I tried installing Silverlight tools but still have the same issue. I suspect the versions of VS, Silverlight, Silverlight tools, and Silverlight SDK are out of sync. Can someone please tell me the versions and editions of each that I need to open up the DeepZoomOutput project? Thank you

    When I layer a number of images, I'm getting multiple output folders in the working data folder, with multiple ".sdi" files. Each one of the subfolders has it's own set of images and info.bin file. I was expecting a single info.bin file in a single sub folder. Any tips? Thanks.

    Mark - the versions I am using are the ones listed for VS Tools, SL Beta 1, and Blend 2.5: http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/ Jeff - the working data folder is used only for composing your images on the artboard. When you export your images, you will only see a tree of folders for your single SDI image, info.bin, and info.xml. Cheers! Kirupa :)

    Kirupa - Sorry - my post was reflecting my confusion over the project. The working folder contains the appropriate folders, but the output folder fails to write for my project. I spent several hours the other day trying various formats, but once I got past "nesting" 3 or 4 images, the Composer just stopped outputting files when I picked Export. I'd be happy to share the project with you if you would like to take a look. It's a series of photos scaled down so you start at one, and "travel" through the series.

    Jeff - I'd be glad to take a look :) Feel free to zip the files, upload them to a location I can access, and e-mail me the link to it. My e-mail address is kirupac[at]microsoft.com. Cheers! Kirupa

    I've been playing around with this quite a bit but it always seems to degrade my images.  Also, why have an option to import different file formats when DZC changes then into JPGs anyway?  And surely there should be a manual compression setting? Cool bit of kit though... Any ideas for improving resolution?

    Paolo - yes, we will offer better export options soon. We default to JPG with no control over the quality, but we hope to allow you to both alter the JPG quality or choose to export as PNGs instead. That may not be in the next release of Deep Zoom Composer, but it may find its way into a version we release quickly thereafter. Cheers! Kirupa =)

    Is there an API for the composition step? I can think of a number of potential uses for this as a UI but they all require the ability to programmatically create the export from a dynamic collection of loose images.

    is there a way to control the timing of the Panning.  When I mouseover, the image pans ok, but it goes pretty fast.  I am looking for a way for it to pan slowly. thanks Tony coralspringstony@hotmail.com

    Ah, I just noticed what the problem may be. This particular project is very outdated and came out during the SL2 beta time frame. You should really use Deep Zoom Composer to export a project using any of the SL3 based templates (Classic + Source or Behaviors + Source). You can get the latest version here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=457b17b7-52bf-4bda-87a3-fa8a4673f8bf The code found in DZC is also much more up-to-date, and you will be able to use Blend on the exported project without having to do anything extra. Cheers! Kirupa
