Deep Zoom Batch Export using C# - Update

In a previous post I’ve showed how to automate the exporting process of a DeepZoom composition or collection. Meanwhile the Microsoft DeepZoom Composer tool has been updated (and new features have been added too!), breaking my previous sample.

Given the positive feedbacks I received from the previous post, I’ve decided to do some refactoring and updates to the previous solution. The current implementation include:

1. Class Library: it encapsulate all the wrapping methods of the SparseImageTool.
2. Test Project: it shows how to use the library. The library can be used from WindowsForms/WPF/ASP.NET….as long as the machine has the SparseImageTool installed.

You can download the updated library and source code here.

The new class diagram is like so:

Given a directory containing all the images and a name for the collection, it’s now really easy to create programmatically a collection.

    1: static void CreateCollection(string collectionName, string sourceImagesFolder, string outputFolder)

    2:         {

    3:             // Create a collection converter

    4:             CollectionConverter collectionConverter = new CollectionConverter();

    5:             // Required parameters

    6:             collectionConverter.SparseImageToolPath = GetSparseImageToolPath();

    7:             collectionConverter.ImagesCollection = GetImages(sourceImagesFolder); // IEnumerable<string> containing the path of the images

    8:             collectionConverter.ImagesDestinationFolder = outputFolder;

    9:             // Optional parameters

   10:             collectionConverter.CollectionName = collectionName;

   11:             collectionConverter.CollectionFormat = CollectionConverter.CollectionFormats.XML;

   12:             //collectionConverter.ConvertedOverlapPixels = ...

   13:             //collectionConverter.ConvertedTileSize = ...

   14:             //TODO: You can customize the exporting experience here, by setting the according parameters such as:

   15:             // Tile Size, File Format, Collection Format, Compression, Quality, ...

   16:  

   17:             // Attach to completion handler

   18:             collectionConverter.BatchCompleted += delegate

   19:              {

   20:                  Console.WriteLine("Conversion completed\nPRESS <ENTER> TO EXIT");

   21:              };

   22:  

   23:             try

   24:             {

   25:                 collectionConverter.BatchCollectionExport();

   26:             }

   27:             catch (Exception e)

   28:             {

   29:                 Console.WriteLine(e.Message);

   30:             }

   31:  

   32:             Console.WriteLine("Conversion started...");

   33:             Console.ReadLine();

   34:         }

Have fun!
