[MCN-L] Viewing digital architectural drawings

[Melita.V.Podesta at bos.frb.org]

HI Ethan,

By clicking onto the demo link the page with all the different pictures of 
the illuminated book came up - but clicking onto an individual image 
brings up nothing. Is there a viewer that you have to download first even 
for the demo?

Thanks,

Hi Cindy,

There are a lot of options for providing access to images online, and 
since
I'm not familiar with your software environment, I can't answer on that
issue, but on the issue of zooming on images, I can make a recommendation.
In the last year or so, some developers at the Los Alamos National
Laboratory have done some great work to develop an apache tomcat JPEG-2000
module.  It's free and open source, and a number of institutions have 
begun
using in a production environment.  I'm integrating it into a digital 
coins
project.
