Project Description
Library to make building DeepZoom images and Pivot displays simpler.

Introduction

Before Pivot was announced as a SL control during MIX 2010 I was building a very large DeepZoom based project called DeepTalks. Among other things, it contains a plug-in architecture that will allow rendering of complex and large files (like large PDF's).

This project is an attempt to pull out the common bits of hte library for general use. When Pivot came along this was an obvious addition to this library. The source code currently has the following:
  • Code to DeepZoom an image
  • Code to produce a Pivot collection based on images (and DeepZoom process them).

And the following has yet to be ported (though you can see the start of some of it in the source code if you look carefully):
  • Plug-in system to render arbitrary files, URI's, etc.
  • Smarts to prevent a re-render of an image that has already been rendered when updating the DZ image or the Pivot collectoin

Ack

There is one other good looking Pivot library out there (see associated projects) and I've taken as inspiratoin its interface. Nice job!
