Graphics::DZI::Files - DeepZoom Image Pyramid Generation, File-based

SYNOPSIS

  use Graphics::DZI::Files;
  my $dzi = new Graphics::DZI::Files (image    => $image,
                                      overlap  => 4,
                                      tilesize => 256,
                                      scale    => 2,
                                      format   => 'png',
                                      prefix   => 'xxx',
                                      path     => '/where/ever/');
  use File::Slurp;
  write_file ('/where/ever/xxx.xml', $dzi->descriptor);
  $dzi->iterate ();

  use Graphics::DZI::Files;
  my $dzi = new Graphics::DZI::Files (image => $image,
                                      dzi   => '/tmp/xxx.dzi');

DESCRIPTION

This subclass of Graphics::DZI generates tiles and stores them at the specified path location.

INTERFACE

Constructor

Additional to the parent class Graphics::DZI, the constructor takes the following fields:

format (default png):

An image format (png, jpg, ...). Any format Image::Magick understands will do.

path: (deprecated from 0.05 onwards, use dzi)

A directory name (including trailing /) where the tiles are written to. This has to include the _files part required by the DZI format.

prefix: (deprecated from 0.05 onwards, use dzi)

The string to be prefixed the _files/ part in the directory name. Usually the name of the image to be converted. No slashes.

dzi (since 0.05)

Alternatively to specifying the path and the prefix separately, you can also provide the full path to the DZI file, say, /var/www/photo.dzi. The tiles will be written to /var/www/photo_files.

Methods

generate

(since 0.05)

This method generates everything, the tiles and the XML descriptor. If you have specified a dzi field in the constructor, then you do not need to specify it as parameter. If you have used the path/prefix, then you need to provide the full path.

manifest

This method writes any tile to a file, appropriately named for DZI inclusion.
