NAME

Graphics::DZI::Overlay - DeepZoom Image Pyramid, Sparse Images

SYNOPSIS

# build some overlays first
use Graphics::DZI::Overlay;
my $o1 = new Graphics::DZI::Overlay (image => ...,       # what is the image?
                                     x => 1000, y, 1000, # where on the canvas?
                                     squeeze => 64);     # how much smaller than the canvas?
my $o2 = new Graphics::DZI::Overlay (image => ...,       # what is the image?
                                     x => 2000, y, 2000, # where on the canvas?
                                     squeeze => 32);     # how much smaller than the canvas?
# then add the overlay over the canvas
use Graphics::DZI::Files;
my $dzi = new Graphics::DZI::Files (image    => $image,
                                    overlap  => 4,
                                    tilesize => 512,
                                    format   => 'png',
                                    overlays => [ $o1, $o2],
                                    path     => $path . 'xxx_files/',
                                    prefix   => 'xxx',
                                    );
 # normal DZI generation
 write_file ($path . 'xxx.xml', $dzi->descriptor);
 $dzi->iterate ();

DESCRIPTION

This package can hold one overlay image, together with a coordinate and a factor how much this images is smaller than the canvas onto which the image is to be put.

INTERFACE

Constructor

It expects the following fields:

image: (required)

Image::Magick object.

x,y: (integers, no default)

Coordinates of the top-left corner of the above image on the canvas

squeeze: (integers, no default)

A factor how much the image should be made smaller, relative to the canvas. I use a power of two to avoid that the canvas is a bit fuzzy.

Methods

halfsize

Makes the overlay smaller by 2. This will be called by the DZI algorithm.

crop

Gets a tile off the overlay.
