Jonathan,
We use an image server I wrote, Loris, plus OpenSeadragon. Here's an
example:
http://libimages.princeton.edu/osd-demo/?feedme=pudl0123%2F8172070%2F01%2F00000001.jp2
That image is 152500 x 4000 px:
http://libimages.princeton.edu/loris/pudl0123%2F8172070%2F01%2F00000001.jp2/info.json
Loris is on Github: https://github.com/pulibrary/loris
as is OpenSeadragon: https://github.com/openseadragon/openseadragon
More generally, this is one of many problems IIIF (International Image
Interoperability Framework) exists to try to solve. You might want to
check out our site, which has links to other tools as well: http://iiif.io/
Hope this helps,
-Jon

Does anyone have a good solution to recommend for display of very large images
on the web? I'm thinking of something that supports pan and scan, as well as
loading only certain tiles for the current view to avoid loading an entire
giant image.
A URL to more info to learn about things would be another way of answering this
question, especially if it involves special server-side software. I'm not sure
where to begin. Googling around I can't find any clearly good solutions.
Has anyone done this before and been happy with a solution?
Thanks for any info!
Jonathan
