Image Zoomer

Displays a large image that can be panned and zoomed.

The image zoomer overcomes the problem of not having enough screen space for lots of detail. Use this
component in conjunction with the ‘Zoom image zoomer’ action, to zoom and pan around large content on a
small device. For example: a brochure intended for traditional print could be reused within the Project.
Zoom in and out controls can be added by creating buttons, for example, and then adding the ‘Zoom Image
Zoomer’ actions when the buttons are pressed.


Using the Image Zoomer

  • The Image Zoomer Component is very useful when you have an image that covers a large area with a lot
    of content and you want users to be able to view it on a small device like a phone. The type of
    asset might be a complex diagram, a large photograph or detailed piece of art work.
  • The Image Zoomer uses the assets you have created and stored in the Project’s ‘Resource
    Folder’/’images’ folder.
  • Browse the ‘images’ folder and insert the asset into the ‘images’ file panel.
  • On a touch device users will be able to pinch and zoom around the image or with a mouse, users can
    likewise pan around and look at the content in detail.
