is there a library that sticks a zoom in/out button over an image and allows incremental + and -

is there any library or component that allows photoshop or pdf style zooming where i have images that i want users to be able to click to zoom in and out and i want to support being able to zoom in a number of times and zoom out a number of times

i want the equivalent of every user having the ability to do stuff like this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/139

You can use Google Maps API to do that. All you need to do is to generate custom map tiles. There is a nice tutorial here.

EDIT: Just found another site that uses the same technique.

I have also found some alternative solutions that are not based on Google Maps API (1st is the best in my opinion):

  1. Microsoft's Seadragon
  2. http://ditchnet.org/dhtmlgallery/slider.html
  3. http://www.oneblackbear.com/zoom/index.html
  4. http://www.rborn.info/moozoom.php

and other questions about this topic:

  1. Image Zoom using javascript?
  2. Javascript for zooming and panning an image
  3. Javascript / jQuery image zoom plugin

EDIT: If you have really large images, you can upload the files to GigaPan(SM) and embed them in your website.

Have a look at:

  • the jQuery gzoom plugin
  • shiftzoom (example here)
  • the jQuery MapBox plugin (works with scroll whell and I'm sure you can stick + / - buttons)
  • the MooZom plugin (works with scroll whell and I'm sure you can stick + / - buttons)
  • Anything Zoomer is also nice

Then, there is Zoomorama which is an alternative to Microsoft's Seadragon if you don't mind using flash.

Silverlight Deep Zoom is one cool way if your environment permits it.

Here's a kind of overkill example of it : http://memorabilia.hardrock.com/

Also from a Flash advocate. And some more stuff - and maybe most fun of all a 13 gigapixel image.
