The folder I got did not contain a Rev file. What is it? How do I open it?
Please ignore this if the tutorial already addresses the following issue:
I haven't time to try to get it open right now, but one thing I see from the post is that you should also show how to scroll an image in a group as well as a card in a stack. That way you can still have static UI controls in the same window.
OK, I got it open by dropping it on the "real" Rev application icon, and I see that you have indeed dealt with the issue I spoke of.
Also, you got to another issue, that of the fact that Rev decompresses images when opening as controls. Using reference files is the best way, and even then, you have to be careful. My SJ County map is right at the Rev limit.
But, for Very Large Scale (VLS) images (I will need to work with composite aerial photos soon), you can break the composites down into manageable sections, i.e., tiles, and file them that way. For the sake of the user's sanity as well as my own, I will create an in-between scale scrollable gridded metamap of the whole thing. The user will scroll around in it until they find the grid containing the section they want to see. The Main map will display that section in Very Large Scale format in an accompanying group. Then the user can scroll around in it as well, to find exactly what they want.
The county has a special Acrobat Pro PDF application that does this after a fashion, but it is not accessible by the public, so I thought I would build one in Rev, which I've done. But what I will be looking at next are aerial photos which are anything but large scale. They are currently shot on 9-inch film at
But I need to get a question answered about image controls way before I get started on that one.
Thanks, Ken N.
