I was interested in the possibility of using Deep Zoom for document display. Jose showed a brief "what if" of the ANZ web site with a Deep Zoom version of some documents. My question about that is, did he build the document controls around the outside of the viewer or is that part of something the Deep Zoom tool creates for you? It's on my list of things to look at. I'm currently working on a Silverlight 2 app that displays content sourced from PowerPoint slides. I've got a converter that pulls the XAML out of an XPS document (printed from PowerPoint). I'm wondering if it might be a better alternative to export the PowerPoint stuff into images and use Deep Zoom?
I guess the danger here is to try to use this exciting new stuff for everything. Not that banging square pegs into round holes isn't fun, don't get me wrong... ;) On Sat, May 31, 2008 at 8:40 AM, John OBrien <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Indeed we are Chuck, I didn't know this list existed, hello everyone. > We are doing a few things, one is with the cultural sector looking at > something similar to the hard rock memorabilia site but with more items, > one > project is looking at 18,000 high resolution art works.
