JavaFX component for viewing a (possibly large) image, along with overlays.

  • Property Details

  • Field Details

    • imageUpdated

      protected boolean imageUpdated
      Flag used to indicate that the image was updated for a repaint (otherwise it's assumed only the overlay may have changed)

    • locationUpdated

      protected boolean locationUpdated
      Flag used to indicate that the visible region in the viewer has changed

  • Constructor Details

    • QuPathViewer

      public QuPathViewer(DefaultImageRegionStore regionStore, OverlayOptions overlayOptions)
      Create a new viewer.
      Parameters:
      regionStore - store used to tile caching
      overlayOptions - overlay options to control the viewer display

  • Method Details

    • getView

      public Pane getView()
      Get the main JavaFX component representing this viewer. This is what should be added to a scene.
      Returns:

    • placeholderTextProperty

      public StringProperty placeholderTextProperty()
      String property to hold text that should be displayed whenever no image is open in the viewer.
      Returns:
      the placeholder text property
      Since:
      v0.6.0

    • setMinimumRepaintSpacingMillis

      public void setMinimumRepaintSpacingMillis(long repaintSpacingMillis)
      Prevent frequent repaints (temporarily) by setting a minimum time that must have elapsed after the previous repaint for a new one to be triggered. (Repaint requests that come in between are simply disregarded for performance.)

      When finished, it's necessary to call resetMinimumRepaintSpacingMillis() to make sure that normal service is resumed.

      Parameters:
      repaintSpacingMillis -
      See Also:

    • resetMinimumRepaintSpacingMillis

      public void resetMinimumRepaintSpacingMillis()
      Return to processing all repainting requests.

      Note: calling this command triggers a repaint itself.

    • setBorderColor

      public void setBorderColor(Color color)
      Set the border color for this viewer. This can be used to indicate (for example) that a particular viewer is active.
      Parameters:
      color -

    • getBorderColor

      public Color getBorderColor()
      Get the border color set for this viewer.
      Returns:

    • repaint

      public void repaint()
      Request that the viewer is repainted. The repaint is not triggered immediately, but rather enqueued for future processing.

      Note that this can be used for changes in the field of view or overlay, but not for large changes that require any cached thumbnail to also be updated (e.g. changing the brightness/contrast or lookup table). In such cases repaintEntireImage() is required.

      See Also:

    • getMinDownsample

      public double getMinDownsample()
      Get the minimum downsample value supported by this viewer. This prevents zooming in by an unreasonably large amount.
      Returns:

    • getMaxDownsample

      public double getMaxDownsample()
      Get the maximum downsample value supported by this viewer. This prevents zooming out by an unreasonably large amount.
      Returns:

    • zoomOut

      public void zoomOut(int nSteps)
      Zoom out by a specified number of steps, where one 'step' indicates a minimal zoom increment.
      Parameters:
      nSteps -

    • zoomIn

      public void zoomIn(int nSteps)
      Zoom in by a specified number of steps, where one 'step' indicates a minimal zoom increment.
      Parameters:
      nSteps -

    • getDefaultZoomFactor

      public double getDefaultZoomFactor()
      The amount by which the downsample factor is scaled for one increment of zoomIn() or zoomOut(). Controls zoom speed.
      Returns:

    • zoomOut

      public void zoomOut()
      Zoom out by one step.
      See Also:

    • zoomIn

      public void zoomIn()

      Set flag to indicate that repaints should prefer speed over accuracy. This is useful when scrolling quickly, or rapidly changing the image zoom.

      Note: Previously, this would drop the downsample level - but this produced visual artifacts too often. Currently it only impacts interpolation used.

      Parameters:
      fasterRepaint -

      Force the overlay displaying detections and annotations to be repainted. Any cached versions will be thrown away, so this is useful when some aspect of the display has changed, e.g. objects colors or fill/outline status. Due to the usefulness of caching for performance, it should not be called too often.

    • hierarchyChanged

      public void hierarchyChanged(PathObjectHierarchyEvent event)
      Description copied from interface: PathObjectHierarchyListener

      Description copied from interface: TileListener
      Check if the listener requires a particular tile. This is primarily designed to deal with asynchronous tile requests; by the time the server is ready to process the the request, it might be out of date (e.g. if the user has panned to a different part of the image). A server *may* make use of this function to do a last minute poll of all listeners to check if the region is required. Any implementation should return quickly (erring conservatively on the side of 'true' if the calculations would be prohibitively expensive), since otherwise it doesn't save time in seeking the tile itself.
