omero::api::ThumbnailStore

Overview

[ "ami", "amd" ] interface ThumbnailStore extends StatefulServiceInterface

Provides methods for dealing with thumbnails. Provision is provided to retrieve thumbnails using the on-disk cache (provided by ROMIO) or on the fly.

NOTE: The calling order for the service is as follows:

  1. setPixelsId
  2. any of the thumbnail accessor methods or resetDefaults

Operation Index

setPixelsId
This method manages the state of the service; it must be invoked before using any other methods.
isInProgress
This returns the last available in progress state for a thumbnail.
setRenderingDefId
This method manages the state of the service; it should be invoked directly after setPixelsId.
getRenderingDefId
Return the id of the model::RenderingDef loaded in this instance.
getThumbnail
Retrieves a thumbnail for a pixels set using a given set of rendering settings (RenderingDef).
getThumbnailSet
Retrieves a number of thumbnails for pixels sets using given sets of rendering settings (RenderingDef).
getThumbnailByLongestSideSet
Retrieves a number of thumbnails for pixels sets using given sets of rendering settings (RenderingDef).
getThumbnailByLongestSide
Retrieves a thumbnail for a pixels set using a given set of rendering settings (RenderingDef).
getThumbnailByLongestSideDirect
Retrieves a thumbnail for a pixels set using a given set of rendering settings (RenderingDef).
getThumbnailDirect
Retrieves a thumbnail for a pixels set using a given set of rendering settings (RenderingDef).
getThumbnailForSectionDirect
Retrieves a thumbnail for a pixels set using a given set of rendering settings (RenderingDef) for a particular section.
getThumbnailForSectionByLongestSideDirect
Retrieves a thumbnail for a pixels set using a given set of rendering settings (RenderingDef) for a particular section.
createThumbnails
Creates thumbnails for a pixels set using a given set of rendering settings (RenderingDef) in the on-disk cache for every sizeX/sizeY combination already cached.
createThumbnail
Creates a thumbnail for a pixels set using a given set of rendering settings (RenderingDef) in the on-disk cache.
createThumbnailsByLongestSideSet
Creates thumbnails for a number of pixels sets using a given set of rendering settings (RenderingDef) in the on-disk cache.
thumbnailExists
Checks if a thumbnail of a particular size exists for a pixels set.
resetDefaults
Resets the rendering definition for the active pixels set to its default settings.

Operations

bool setPixelsId(long pixelsId) throws ServerError

This method manages the state of the service; it must be invoked before using any other methods. As the ThumbnailStore relies on the RenderingEngine, a valid rendering definition must be available for it to work.

Parameters

pixelsId
an model::Pixels id.

Return Value

true if a model::RenderingDef exists for the model::Pixels set, otherwise false

Exceptions

ApiUsageException
if no pixels object exists with the ID pixelsId.

bool isInProgress() throws ServerError

This returns the last available in progress state for a thumbnail. Its return value is only expected to be valid after the call to any of the individual thumbnail retrieval methods.

Return Value

true if the image is in the process of being imported or a pyramid is being generated for it.

void setRenderingDefId(long renderingDefId) throws ServerError

This method manages the state of the service; it should be invoked directly after setPixelsId. If it is not invoked with a valid rendering definition ID before using the thumbnail accessor methods execution continues as if renderingDefId were set to null.

Parameters

renderingDefId
an model::RenderingDef id. null specifies the user's currently active rendering settings to be used.

Exceptions

ValidationException
if no rendering definition exists with the ID renderingDefId.

long getRenderingDefId() throws ServerError

Return the id of the model::RenderingDef loaded in this instance.

::Ice::ByteSeq getThumbnail(RInt sizeX, RInt sizeY) throws ServerError

Retrieves a thumbnail for a pixels set using a given set of rendering settings (RenderingDef). If the thumbnail exists in the on-disk cache it will be returned directly, otherwise it will be created as in getThumbnailDirect, placed in the on-disk cache and returned.

Parameters

sizeX
the X-axis width of the thumbnail. null specifies the default size of 48.
sizeY
the Y-axis width of the thumbnail. null specifies the default size of 48.

Return Value

a JPEG thumbnail byte buffer.

Exceptions

ApiUsageException
if:

getThumbnailDirect

sys::IdByteMap getThumbnailSet(RInt sizeX, RInt sizeY, sys::LongList pixelsIds) throws ServerError

Retrieves a number of thumbnails for pixels sets using given sets of rendering settings (RenderingDef). If the thumbnails exist in the on-disk cache they will be returned directly, otherwise they will be created as in getThumbnailDirect, placed in the on-disk cache and returned. Unlike the other thumbnail retrieval methods, this method may be called without first calling setPixelsId.

Parameters

sizeX
the X-axis width of the thumbnail. null specifies the default size of 48.
sizeY
the Y-axis width of the thumbnail. null specifies the default size of 48.
pixelsIds
the Pixels sets to retrieve thumbnails for.

Return Value

a map whose keys are pixels ids and values are JPEG thumbnail byte buffers or null if an exception was thrown while attempting to retrieve the thumbnail for that particular Pixels set.

See Also

getThumbnail

sys::IdByteMap getThumbnailByLongestSideSet(RInt size, sys::LongList pixelsIds) throws ServerError

Retrieves a number of thumbnails for pixels sets using given sets of rendering settings (RenderingDef). If the Thumbnails exist in the on-disk cache they will be returned directly, otherwise they will be created as in getThumbnailByLongestSideDirect. The longest side of the image will be used to calculate the size for the smaller side in order to keep the aspect ratio of the original image. Unlike the other thumbnail retrieval methods, this method may be called without first calling setPixelsId.

Parameters

size
the size of the longest side of the thumbnail requested. null specifies the default size of 48.
pixelsIds
the Pixels sets to retrieve thumbnails for.

Return Value

a map whose keys are pixels ids and values are JPEG thumbnail byte buffers or null if an exception was thrown while attempting to retrieve the thumbnail for that particular Pixels set.

getThumbnailSet

::Ice::ByteSeq getThumbnailByLongestSide(RInt size) throws ServerError

Retrieves a thumbnail for a pixels set using a given set of rendering settings (RenderingDef). If the thumbnail exists in the on-disk cache it will bereturned directly, otherwise it will be created as in getThumbnailDirect, placed in the on-disk cache and returned. The longest side of the image will be used to calculate the size for the smaller side in order to keep the aspect ratio of the original image.

Parameters

size
the size of the longest side of the thumbnail requested. null specifies the default size of 48.

Return Value

a JPEG thumbnail byte buffer.

getThumbnail

::Ice::ByteSeq getThumbnailByLongestSideDirect(RInt size) throws ServerError

Retrieves a thumbnail for a pixels set using a given set of rendering settings (RenderingDef). The Thumbnail will always be created directly, ignoring the on-disk cache. The longest side of the image will be used to calculate the size for the smaller side in order to keep the aspect ratio of the original image.

Parameters

size
the size of the longest side of the thumbnail requested. null specifies the default size of 48.

Return Value

a JPEG thumbnail byte buffer.

getThumbnailDirect

::Ice::ByteSeq getThumbnailDirect(RInt sizeX, RInt sizeY) throws ServerError

Return Value

a JPEG thumbnail byte buffer.
