PyQt MDI Image ViewerΒΆ
This is the documentation for the PyQt based MDI (Multiple Document Interface) Image Viewer which supports optional zooming and panning synchronization of multiple windows. I’ve tested it under Windows XP using ActiveState Python 2.6.4 and PyQt 4.7.7 and PyQt 4.8.
As you can see from the thumbnail images on the right (click the thumbnails to see larger versions), the MDI Image Viewer supports standard tiled or independent subwindows. Each subwindow can be forced to have the same zoom factor and position (helpful when trying to examine the exact changes caused by image processing operations). Alternatively, the subwindows can be scaled independently and show different areas.
Holding down the <Space> key lets you pan a subwindow by dragging the mouse.
In and of itself, the MDI Image Viewer is admittedly not particularly useful. It was written mainly as a component for an upcoming image processing application, but also as an exercise in “correct” application development using the following:
See the Implementation Notes page for detailed descriptions of the various techniques demonstrated by this project.
Also included is detailed documentation of the Python modules.
You can easily start your own PyQt application by copying the files from the github repository.
