Writing OMERO.web views

This Page

Note

This documentation is for OMERO 5.2. This version is now in maintenance mode and will only be updated in the event of critical bugs or security concerns. OMERO 5.3 is expected in the first quarter of 2017.

Embedding an OMERO.web viewport in a web page

Note

These example are intended to be used with images that have been added to the PUBLIC group with a Public member in OMERO, making them publicly available. To see how to configure public URL filters, see the Public data in the repository section..

OMERO.web viewer in iframe

Insert the following:

<div id="omeroviewport"><iframe width="850" height="600" src="http://localhost:8000/webclient/img_detail/IMAGE_ID/" id="omeroviewport" name="omeroviewport"></iframe></div>

Launching OMERO.web viewer

Use the following code to reference the scripts.

<script type="text/javascript">

    function openPopup(url) {
        owindow = window.open(url, 'anew', config='height=600,width=850,left=50,top=50,toolbar=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,location=no,directories=no,status=no');
        if(!owindow.closed) owindow.focus();
        return false;
    }

</script>

Then in <BODY> insert the following:

<a href="#" onclick="return openPopup('http://localhost:8000/webclient/img_detail/IMAGE_ID/')">Open viewer</a>

Example

Click on the thumbnail to view and manipulate the image in OMERO.

Customizing the content of the embedded OMERO.web viewport

This section demonstrates how to embed an OMERO.web image viewer in any HTML page, allowing use of resources directly from an OMERO server.

$ bin/omero config set omero.web.public.url_filter '^/webgateway'

Provided the image corresponding to IMAGE_ID is in the PUBLIC group, it can be accessed via the link: http://your_host/webgateway/img_detail/IMAGE_ID/. Please remember that public images must be in a public group where a public user can access them.

Use the following code to load stylesheets and scripts.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://your_host/static/omeroweb.viewer.min.css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://your_host/static/omeroweb.viewer.min.js"></script>

Then create the small JavaScript with associated stylesheet which allows you to view particular image defined by IMAGE_ID.

<style type="text/css">
    .viewport {
        height: 500px;
        width: 800px;
        padding: 10px;
    }
</style>

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {

        /* Prepare the viewport */
        viewport = $.WeblitzViewport($("#viewport"), "http://your_host/webgateway/", {
            'mediaroot': "http://your_host/static/"
        });

        /* Load the selected image into the viewport */
        viewport.load(IMAGE_ID);

    });
</script>

Then in <BODY> insert the following:

<div id="viewport" class="viewport"></div>

The viewport can be made more interactive by adding buttons or links to allow display of scalebars, ROIs, zooming and selection of channels. Full examples of how to embed microscopy or Whole Slide Image are available in the OMERO.webtest GitHub repository.
