The above link isn't a real Zoomify integration, but a way to use the Google Maps API to zoom into an image.
I was looking into a way to integrate zoomify with G2. Here is what I thought:
- use ZoomifyImage, a python script to generate the tiles from the base image
- apply this to the full size image at upload or on demand
- display the flash viewer when the full-size is selected, or according to per-image options.
Options could be:
- when to display
- what size of the display
- controls available and default view
- graphics package to use and quality
I tested the ZoomifyImage script on a linux server with PIL as graphics backend, and it works great (but takes about 8 seconds for a 6 MP, 2.5 MB image).
I would need some input from devs as to where to put the tiles, and perhaps which module I could start from to make this module. Does anyone want to participate?
