In this quick post, I will show you the creation of deep zoom images from an Image
in Azure BLOB. You may come with a requirement where you need to create deep
zoom images using code. If you need deep zoom images for a Pivot Viewer you can
very much create it using several tools available. However you may have to
create deep zoom images using code in some scenario. I am going to share code
snippet for the same.
- First you need to include the DeepZoomTools dll as a reference in your project.
- Add namespace
- Next you need to create Container and set the basic properties as below,
- Next create list of images you want to convert as deep zoom image. For purpose of this post, I am taking only one image. That image is in Azure Blob. So for that I am giving URL of the Image saved in azure Blob. You can choose image from local storage as well.
- In the last step you need to create deep zoom images using the create method of CollectorCreator
For reference, the full source code is as below,
protected void Button1_Click(object
sender, EventArgs e)
{
string directoryToSaveDeepZoomImages =
"D:\\abc";
CollectionCreator collectionCreator =
new
CollectionCreator();
collectionCreator.TileSize = 256;
collectionCreator.TileFormat = Microsoft.DeepZoomTools.ImageFormat.Png;
collectionCreator.ImageQuality = 1.0;
collectionCreator.TileOverlap = 0;
List<Microsoft.DeepZoomTools.Image>
images =
new
List<Microsoft.DeepZoomTools.Image>();
images.Add(new
Microsoft.DeepZoomTools.Image("azuerbloburlforimage"));
collectionCreator.Create(images, directoryToSaveDeepZoomImages);
}
In this way you can create deep zoom images. I hope this post was useful. Thanks
