61.1. Introduction

Nuxeo Platform Imaging provides picture management to Nuxeo Web Platform and RCP. It offers minor picture transformation like rotation or resizing.

There are several Imaging addons for the Nuxeo platforms. They are listed in the following sections.

61.2. Imaging API

This addon provides a pluggable adapter for picture manipulation. It makes it possible to manipulate images resources that are not documents (in the document type sense) themselves. Concretely, it makes it possible to still use the Seam component that deals with images for some processings (for example rotation and resizing) but adapted to a specific schema.

61.3. Imaging transform

This addon is where the available transformations are stored. Available transformations are rotation, resizing and cropping for the following image types: JPEG, GIF, BMP, TIFF. PNG is sadly not supported yet.

61.4. Imaging web

This addon provides Picture and PictureBook document types as well as drag'n drop plugin, slideshows or thumbnails.

61.5. Imaging core

This core addon provides services for common picture processing operation, metadata extraction and mime-type detection. With this addon, one can choose the picture processing library to use through the library selector service. Right now the available libraries are Mistral and ImageJ.
