DESCRIPTION:
|
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
This module integrates the Zoomify component (http://www.zoomify.com)
|
| 12 |
into Drupal. Zoomify is a Flash application that displays large
|
| 13 |
images by allowing to pan and zoom into them. Images must be first
|
| 14 |
preprocessed in order to Zoomify to work, and that's what the Zoomify
|
| 15 |
Image (aka Agile Image) Python script does
|
| 16 |
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/zoomifyimage/).
|
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The integration into Drupal is done by detecting images within nodes.
|
| 19 |
When the module detects that a new image has a resolution larger than
|
| 20 |
some preset size, it invokes the Python script that cuts up the image
|
| 21 |
into tiles. It also adds a link to the node that displays a new page
|
| 22 |
containing the Zoomify Flash viewer.
|
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
The following image types are currently handled:
|
| 25 |
* Image nodes
|
| 26 |
* CCK nodes with image fields (including imagecache effects and views)
|
