Spin spin

Spin Viewer is an image viewer that provides a 360-degree view of the image or even multi-dimensional view if appropriate spin set is being used. It has zoom and spin tools, full-screen support, and an optional close button. It is designed to work on desktops and mobile devices.

Viewer type 503.

Using Spin Viewer section-e6c68406ecdc4de781df182bbd8088b4

Spin Viewer represents a main JavaScript file and a set of helper files (a single JavaScript include with all Viewer SDK components used by this particular viewer, assets, CSS) downloaded by the viewer in runtime.

Spin Viewer can be used both in pop-up mode using production-ready HTML page provided with IS-Viewers or in embedded mode, where it is integrated into target web page using documented API.

Configuration and skinning are similar to that of the other viewers. All skinning can be achieved by way of custom CSS.

Interacting with Spin Viewer section-642e66ca38cd4032992840ec6c0b0cd2

Spin Viewer supports the following touch gestures that are common in other mobile applications. When the viewer cannot process a user’s swipe gesture, it forwards the event to the web browser to perform a native page scroll. This functionality lets the user navigate through the page even if the viewer occupies most of the device screen area.

This viewer is fully keyboard accessible.

Different web pages have different needs for viewer behavior. Sometimes a web page provides a link that, when selected, opens the viewer in a separate browser window. In other cases, it is necessary to embed the viewer right in the hosting page. In the latter case, the web page may have a static page layout, or use responsive design that displays differently on different devices or for different browser window sizes. To accommodate these needs, the viewer supports three primary operation modes: pop-up, fixed size embedding, and responsive design embedding.

About pop-up mode

In pop-up mode, the viewer is opened in a separate web browser window or tab. It takes the entire browser window area and adjusts in case the browser is resized, or a mobile device’s orientation is changed.

Pop-up mode is the most common for mobile devices. The web page loads the viewer using window.open() JavaScript call, properly configured A HTML element, or any other suitable method.

It is recommended that you use an out-of-the-box HTML page for pop-up operation mode. In this case, it is called SpinViewer.html and is located within the html5/ subfolder of your standard IS-Viewers deployment:

<s7viewers_root>/html5/SpinViewer.html

You can achieve visual customization by applying custom CSS.

The following is an example of HTML code that opens the viewer in a new window:

<a href="https://s7d1.scene7.com/s7viewers/html5/SpinViewer.html?asset=Scene7SharedAssets/SpinSet_Sample&stagesize=500,400"
target="_blank">Open popup viewer</a>

About fixed size embedding mode and responsive design embedding mode

In the embedded mode, the viewer is added to the existing web page, which may already have some customer content not related to the viewer. The viewer normally occupies only a part of a web page’s real estate.

The primary use cases are web pages oriented for desktops or tablet devices, and also responsive design pages that adjust layout automatically depending on the device type.

Fixed size embedding is used when the viewer does not change its size after initial load. This action is the best choice for web pages that have a static layout.

Responsive design embedding assumes that the viewer must resize at runtime in response to the size change of its container DIV. The most common use case is adding a viewer to a web page that uses a flexible page layout.

In responsive design embedding mode, the viewer behaves differently depending on the way web page sizes its container DIV. If the web page sets only the width of the container DIV, leaving its height unrestricted, the viewer automatically chooses its height according to the aspect ratio of the asset that is used. This functionality ensures that the asset fits perfectly into the view without any padding on the sides. This use case is the most common for web pages using responsive design layout frameworks like Bootstrap or Foundation.

Otherwise, if the web page sets both the width and the height for the viewer’s container DIV, the viewer fills just that area and follows the size that the web page layout provides. A good example may be embedding the viewer into a modal overlay, where the overlay is sized according to web browser window size.

Fixed size embedding

You add the Spin Viewer to a web page by doing the following:

Responsive design embedding with unrestricted height

With responsive design embedding, the web page normally has some kind of flexible layout in place that dictates the runtime size of the viewer’s container DIV. For purposes of this example, assume that the web page allows the viewer’s container DIV to take 40% of the web browser window size, leaving its height unrestricted. The resulting web page HTML code looks like the following:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.holder {
 width: 40%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="holder"></div>
</body>
</html>

Adding the viewer to such a page is similar to fixed size embedding, with the only difference being that you do not need to explicitly define viewer size.

All the steps above are the same as with fixed size embedding. Add the container DIV to the existing " holder" DIV. The following code is a complete example. You can see how the viewer size changes when the browser is resized, and how the viewer aspect ratio matches the asset.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7d1.scene7.com/s7viewers/html5/js/SpinViewer.js"></script>
<style type="text/css">
.holder {
 width: 40%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="holder">
<div id="s7viewer" style="position:relative"></div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var spinViewer = new s7viewers.SpinViewer({
 "containerId":"s7viewer",
"params":{
 "asset":"Scene7SharedAssets/SpinSet_Sample",
 "serverurl":"http://s7d1.scene7.com/is/image/"
}
}).init();
</script>
</body>
</html>

The following examples page illustrates more real-life use cases of responsive design embedding with unrestricted height:

Flexible size embedding with width and height defined

If there is flexible-size embedding with width and height defined, the web page styling is different. That is, it provides both sizes to the " holder" DIV and centers it in the browser window. Also, the web page sets the size of the HTML and BODY element to 100%:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
html, body {
 width: 100%;
 height: 100%;
}
.holder {
 position: absolute;
 left: 20%;
 top: 20%;
 width: 60%;
height: 60%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="holder"></div>
</body>
</html>

The remaining embedding steps are identical to responsive design embedding with unrestricted height. The resulting example is the following:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7d1.scene7.com/s7viewers/html5/js/SpinViewer.js"></script>
<style type="text/css">
html, body {
 width: 100%;
 height: 100%;
}
.holder {
 position: absolute;
 left: 20%;
 top: 20%;
 width: 60%;
height: 60%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="holder">
<div id="s7viewer" style="position:relative"></div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var spinViewer = new s7viewers.SpinViewer({
 "containerId":"s7viewer",
"params":{
 "asset":"Scene7SharedAssets/SpinSet_Sample",
 "serverurl":"http://s7d1.scene7.com/is/image/"
}
}).init();
</script>
</body>
</html>

Embedding using Setter-based API

Instead of using JSON-based initialization it is possible to use setter-based API and no-args constructor. With that API constructor does not take any parameters and configuration parameters is specified using setContainerId(), setParam(), and setAsset() API methods with separate JavaScript calls.

The following example shows fixed size embedding with setter-based API:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7d1.scene7.com/s7viewers/html5/js/SpinViewer.js"></script>
<style type="text/css">
#s7viewer.s7spinviewer {
 width: 640px;
 height: 480px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="s7viewer" style="position:relative"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var spinViewer = new s7viewers.SpinViewer();
spinViewer.setContainerId("s7viewer");
spinViewer.setParam("serverurl", "http://s7d1.scene7.com/is/image/");
spinViewer.setAsset("Scene7SharedAssets/SpinSet_Sample");
spinViewer.init();
</script>
</body>
</html>
