Image viewer java applet
I'm looking for a free or v. cheap java applet that allows users to view
jpg or tif image files with zoom, pan and bilinear interpolation. It's
for a (decidedly amateur) genealogy site with some transcripts of
English tithe maps. As you can see, I've already found an applet with
everything except bilinear interpolation so the images look pretty
rough:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com ... iewer.html
Anyone know of one?
Thanks,
Paul

This is the one I'm using at the moment - the trouble is that it doesn't use
bilinear interpolation so the display of the tithe maps is very speckled except at
full size.
Take care,

I don't know if it's what you are looking for, but according to
the instructions, you rightclick to zoom out, leftclick to zoom
in, and hold the left mouse button over the image to move the
image - all very neat!
http://www.historischebronnenbrugge.be/ is the front page of
the site to which you are taken via that tinyurl link and that
deals with historical sources relating to Bruges. There is a
link allowing you to contact the owners of the site who might
be able to tell you what software they use ...

Re: Image viewer java applet
Ok, I've found the applet now. It's exactly what I'm looking for. Please
could you let me know if it's possible for me to get hold of a copy for
my tithe map site (
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com ... iewer.html
) and how I can do this.
I'll also try to contact you via the site's contact screen.
Very nice site by the way, even though I don't speak the language.
Thanks,
Paul

Re: Image viewer java applet
For anyone following this thread, I've found this image viewer now. It's called
GISlite and it's a very cool java applet written by University of California,
Berkeley which they let anyone use (although with some pretty heavy-weight copyright
text). It makes viewing, zooming and panning of large images very quick because they
are segmented into tiles, so the user only has to download a few tiles at a time.
Who knows, it might even be useable on a dial-up connection. It's a cut-down version
of a much bigger applet called GIS.
I've put together a test for my own purposes at:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com ... iewer.html
The GISlite home page is:
http://elib.cs.berkeley.edu/gislite/
They have comprehensive (if complex) instructions their for using the app. There's
also a utility to build "tile files" from image files at:
http://elib.cs.berkeley.edu/cgi/tpicgen
Although GISlite doesn't have inbuilt bilinear interpolation, this utility does use
it for the zoomed-out tiles and so the image looks good at most scales.
If you don't have access to a cgi-bin library you can extract the individual tiles
into jpegs via a separate Windows utility called XnView, although you have to rename
the tile file extensions to ".tjp" from ".tpc" for it to work properly. XnView is
freely available and can be found at:
http://www.xnview.com/
Take care,
Paul
