Method 1 and Method 2 can be freely combined while Method 3 retrieves a
complete image list ignoring previously defined <images> nodes. Please note that
the format of image lists is the same as for FSI Pages. The chapter
to retrieve Image Collections on FSI Pages contains more detailed information on
creating and retrieving.
Image Order
The order of the images within the thumbnail bar corresponds to the order of the
<image> declarations within the <images> section.
Graphical Bookmarks and Product Tours
The Showcase does not re- load images if the image source did not change (e.g.
"FPXSrc" and "Effects"). You can therefore use the Showcase to create graphical
bookmarks or product tours by specifying the same image source ("FPXSrc") for
multiple images and defining different "InitialView" parameters. The Showcase
parameter
→ UseInitialView should be set to "true" (default) in this case.
FSI Parameters and FSI Showcase
All FSI parameters and FSI Plug-in parameters can be used with FSI Showcase
Add-on. The only exception is the plug- in integration which will be described later
on. The Showcase Add- on follows the hierarchy displayed below to build the
configuration for an image:
1. Hierarchy of parameter definitions
2. Default Configuration File
3. Showcase Configuration File
4. Image Configuration File
5. Image Node
6. HTTP Query
This way you can define global parameters for all images by defining the parameters
in
1 (default configuration)
2 (showcase configuration) or
5 by HTTP query.
Parameters specific to certain images have to be defined in the external image
configuration file (3) or in the <image> node of the image list (4).
Due to the hierarchy displayed above parameters declared by query override all
other parameter definitions. This can be especially useful if you want to override
