[worldKit-dev] switch between 2 or more sets of zoomify files

[Iain Mott]

Thanks Mikel,

Got this working well using javascript to toggle the visibility of two
worldkit instances. What I’d like now, is a means to fetch the most recent
zoom and location values so that when the user toggles the view, they
maintain their position/zoom (currently when the user toggles to the
alternate view, the new view is fully zoomed-out and centred).

I can see how zoom, lat and long values can be set using the JzoomComm,
but how can these values be fetched without resorting to annotation mode
techniques?

Cheers,

Iain
