Open image file stored on server

SDK can open images, which are stored on server.

Here is JavaScript code that shows how to clear image collection of web image viewer, load images from TIFF file, which is located on server, and add created images to the image collection:

JavaScript

// identifier of multipage TIFF file, which is located on server
var fileId = "multipage.tif";
// get image collection of image viewer
var images = imageViewer.get_Images();
// clear image collection and add all images from TIFF file to the image collection
images.openFile(fileId);

Here is JavaScript code that shows how to load images from TIFF file, which is located on server, and add created images to the image collection of web image viewer:

JavaScript

// File is opened successfully. This function is obligatory because without this function the image collection will be cleared.
function __openFile_success(data) {
    // an array of WebImageJS objects, which represent images from opened TIFF file
    var newImages = data.images;
    // add images to the end of image collection
    images.addRange(newImages);
}

// identifier of multipage TIFF file, which is located on server
var fileId = "multipage.tif";
// get image collection of image viewer
var images = imageViewer.get_Images();
// add all images from multipage TIFF file to the end of image collection
images.openFile(fileId, __openFile_success);

Here is JavaScript code that shows how to clear image collection of web image viewer, load images from several image files, which are located on server, and add created images to the image collection:

JavaScript

// array of file identifiers
var filesIds = ["image.png", "multipage.tif", "multipage.pdf"];
// get image collection of image viewer
var images = imageViewer.get_Images();
// clear image collection and add all images from image files to the image collection
images.openFiles(filesIds);

Here is JavaScript code that shows how to load images from several image files, which are located on server, and add created images to the image collection of web image viewer:

JavaScript

// File is opened successfully. This function is obligatory because without this function the image collection will be cleared.
function __openFile_success(data) {
    // an array of WebImageJS objects, which represent images from opened image files
    var newImages = data.images;
    // add images to the end of image collection
    images.addRange(newImages);
}

// array of file identifiers
var filesIds = ["image.png", "multipage.tif", "multipage.pdf"];
// get image collection of image viewer
var images = imageViewer.get_Images();
// add all images from image files to the end of image collection
images.openFiles(filesIds, __openFile_success);

Here is JavaScript code that shows how to create web image, which is associated with the first page of TIFF file, and add created image to the image collection of web image viewer:

JavaScript

// identifier of multipage TIFF file, which is located on server
var fileId = "multipage.tif";
// create source of image file (with default image service)
var imageSource = new Vintasoft.Shared.WebImageSourceJS(fileId);
// create WebImageJS object, which is associated with the first page of multipage TIFF file
var image = new Vintasoft.Shared.WebImageJS(imageSource, 0);

// get image collection of image viewer
var images = imageViewer.get_Images();
// add new image to the image collection of image viewer
// Important: Image collection must not contain identical image, i.e. images with the same source identifier and page index.
images.add(image);

Open image file stored in database

SDK can open images, which are stored in database or any other data storage. More info please read in the article: How to view images from database.
