renderRedirect Method

Summary

Renders the content of the viewer to an external context.

Syntax
TypeScript
JavaScript
ImageViewer.prototype.renderRedirect = function( 
   context, 
   options, 
   clipRectangle 
) 
renderRedirect( 
   context: CanvasRenderingContext2D, 
   options: ImageViewerRenderRedirectOptions, 
   clipRectangle: LeadRectD 
): void; 

Parameters

context

Target HTML5 Canvas Element context to render the content of the viewer to.

options

Rendering options

clipRectangle

Clipping rectangle to use.

Remarks

This method can be used to render the content of the viewer to an external context. ImageViewerPanControl uses this method to show a smaller version of the viewer in a separate external control.

To take a "snapshot" of the viewer surface to perform such operations as screen capture or printing, use RenderRedirect passing it the target context (of the printer or a bitmap).

To perform live updates for operations such as pan window, subscribe to the RedirectRender event to get notified whenever the viewer content is changed. Then call RenderRedirect to render the content of the viewer into the target device.

During the render cycle, the value of IsRenderRedirected will be set to true if this particular rendering operation is targeting an external device other than the viewer itself. If you are performing custom rendering, you can check the value of this property to apply any modification needed.

Example

This example will mirror the content of the viewer into an external canvas with live updates whenever the viewer content changes.
