 +:!: **IMPORTANT**: This application note is obsolete. It has been superseded by the Deep Zoom block type introduced in Blocks 7.5, which is now the recommended method for accomplishing this functionality. That block also lets you combine deep zoom with other blocks appearing at selectable zoom depths as well as navigation to/from the Deep Zoom block.

 The term "deep zoom" refers to the ability of displaying extremely high resolution images in a way that allows you to zoom into the image using pinch and pan gestures on a touch screen. This can be used to show, for example, a large map where you can zoom in to read fine print or see other details. It's based on a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_(image_processing)|pyramid representation]] of the original image, dividing it up into multiple layers of increasing resolution. This arrangement makes it possible to handle images that are too large to be managed as is. The term "deep zoom" refers to the ability of displaying extremely high resolution images in a way that allows you to zoom into the image using pinch and pan gestures on a touch screen.
