Class: TileSource

OpenSeadragon.TileSource

The TileSource contains the most basic implementation required to create a smooth transition between layers in an image pyramid. It has only a single key interface that must be implemented to complete its key functionality: 'getTileUrl'. It also has several optional interfaces that can be implemented if a new TileSource wishes to support configuration via a simple object or array ('configure') and if the tile source supports or requires configuration via retrieval of a document on the network ala AJAX or JSONP, ('getImageInfo').
By default the image pyramid is split into N layers where the image's longest side in M (in pixels), where N is the smallest integer which satisfies 2^(N+1) >= M.

Constructor

new TileSource(options)

Parameters:
Name Type Description
options Object You can either specify a URL, or literally define the TileSource (by specifying width, height, tileSize, tileOverlap, minLevel, and maxLevel). For the former, the extending class is expected to implement 'getImageInfo' and 'configure'. For the latter, the construction is assumed to occur through the extending classes implementation of 'configure'.
Properties
Name Type Attributes Description
url String <optional>
 The URL for the data necessary for this TileSource.
success function <optional>
 A function to be called upon successful creation.
ajaxWithCredentials Boolean <optional>
 If this TileSource needs to make an AJAX call, this specifies whether to set the XHR's withCredentials (for accessing secure data).
width Number <optional>
 Width of the source image at max resolution in pixels.
height Number <optional>
 Height of the source image at max resolution in pixels.
tileSize Number <optional>
 The size of the tiles to assumed to make up each pyramid layer in pixels. Tile size determines the point at which the image pyramid must be divided into a matrix of smaller images. Use options.tileWidth and options.tileHeight to support non-square tiles.
tileWidth Number <optional>
 The width of the tiles to assumed to make up each pyramid layer in pixels.
tileHeight Number <optional>
 The height of the tiles to assumed to make up each pyramid layer in pixels.
tileOverlap Number <optional>
 The number of pixels each tile is expected to overlap touching tiles.
minLevel Number <optional>
 The minimum level to attempt to load.
maxLevel Number <optional>
 The maximum level to attempt to load.

Methods

addHandler(eventName, handler, userDataopt)

Add an event handler for a given event.
Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Default Description
eventName String Name of event to register.
handler OpenSeadragon.EventHandler Function to call when event is triggered.
userData Object <optional>
 null Arbitrary object to be passed unchanged to the handler.
Inherited From:
Source:

addOnceHandler(eventName, handler, userDataopt, timesopt)

Add an event handler to be triggered only once (or a given number of times) for a given event.
Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Default Description
eventName String Name of event to register.
handler OpenSeadragon.EventHandler Function to call when event is triggered.
userData Object <optional>
 null Arbitrary object to be passed unchanged to the handler.
times Number <optional>
 1 The number of times to handle the event before removing it.

configure(data, url) → {Object}

Responsible for parsing and configuring the image metadata pertinent to this TileSources implementation. This method is not implemented by this class other than to throw an Error announcing you have to implement it. Because of the variety of tile server technologies, and various specifications for building image pyramids, this method is here to allow easy integration.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
data String | Object | Array | Document
url String the url the data was loaded from if any.
Source:
Throws:
Error
Returns:
options - A dictionary of keyword arguments sufficient to configure this tile sources constructor.

getClosestLevel(level)

Parameters:
Name Type Description
level Number
Source:

getHandler(eventName)

Get a function which iterates the list of all handlers registered for a given event, calling the handler for each.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
eventName String Name of event to get handlers for.

getImageInfo(url)

Responsible for retrieving, and caching the image metadata pertinent to this TileSources implementation.
Parameters:

Throws:
Error

getLevelScale(level)

Parameters:
Name Type Description
level Number
Source:

getNumTiles(level)

Parameters:
Name Type Description
level Number

getPixelRatio(level)

Parameters:
Name Type Description
level Number
Source:

getTileAtPoint(level, point)

Parameters:
Name Type Description
level Number
point OpenSeadragon.Point
Source:

getTileBounds(level, x, y)

Parameters:
Name Type Description
level Number
x Number
y Number
Source:

getTileHeight(level)

Return the tileHeight for a given level. Subclasses should override this if tileHeight can be different at different levels such as in IIIFTileSource. Code should use this function rather than reading from ._tileHeight directly.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
level Number
Source:

getTileUrl(level, x, y)

Responsible for retriving the url which will return an image for the region specified by the given x, y, and level components. This method is not implemented by this class other than to throw an Error announcing you have to implement it. Because of the variety of tile server technologies, and various specifications for building image pyramids, this method is here to allow easy integration.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
level Number
x Number
y Number
Source:
Throws:
Error

getTileWidth(level)

Return the tileWidth for a given level. Subclasses should override this if tileWidth can be different at different levels such as in IIIFTileSource. Code should use this function rather than reading from ._tileWidth directly.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
level Number
Source:

raiseEvent(eventName, eventArgs)

Trigger an event, optionally passing additional information.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
eventName String Name of event to register.
eventArgs Object Event-specific data.
Inherited From:
Source:

removeAllHandlers(eventName)

Remove all event handlers for a given event type. If no type is given all event handlers for every event type are removed.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
eventName String Name of event for which all handlers are to be removed.
Inherited From:
Source:

removeHandler(eventName, handler)

Remove a specific event handler for a given event.
Parameters:

Source:

supports(data, url) → {Boolean}

Responsible determining if a the particular TileSource supports the data format ( and allowed to apply logic against the url the data was loaded from, if any ). Overriding implementations are expected to do something smart with data and / or url to determine support. Also understand that iteration order of TileSources is not guarunteed so please make sure your data or url is expressive enough to ensure a simple and sufficient mechanisim for clear determination.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
data String | Object | Array | Document
url String the url the data was loaded from if any.
