This is true if the control can respond to UI events else false.
Use enable() and disable() to enable and disable it.
This is true if the control background is opaque else false.
Use opaque() and transparent() display / hide the background.
This is true if the control is visible else false.
Use hide() and show() to set visibility.
The type name for this control.
(type name = class name without the Cvs prefix)
Add a child to this control using its relative position [rx, ry]. If rx and ry are not provided then it uses the values set in the child.

Adds additional images the image(s) to those already displayed in this viewer. They will be inserted after the position by the first parameter.
All additional images will be resized to match the first (bottom) layer.

this control
Appends additional image(s) to those already in this viewer. These images will appear above any pre-existing layers.
The additional images will be resized to match the first (bottom) layer.

Execute one or more configuration methods on this control.
The parameter is a user defined object where each field is the name of a configuration method and its value is the method's parameter(s). Multiple parameters should be in an array and use 'undefined' if the method expects no parameters.
This object will change the color scheme, text size and alignment, it will also make sure it is visible.
{ scheme : 'red', textSize : 12, textAlign: ['left', 'top'], show : undefined }
If the field name does not exist or not a valid function of this
control it will be silently ignored.
There is no error checking on the parameters, it is up to the user to ensure they are valid for the control method.

Makes the controls background opaque. The actual color depends on the controls color scheme.
The second parameter, alpha, is optional and controls the level of opaqueness from 0 - transparent to 255 - fully opaque (default value).

Adds this control to another control which becomes its parent.

Remove a child control from this one so that it stays in same screen position.

Sets or gets the current scale in use.
If no parameters are passed the the current scale is returned. A single parameter sets the current scale and three parameter sets the current scale and the limits for the zoom slider.
the scale to use
this control or the current scale
Sets the existing scaler value (if there is no scaler it will be created) and limits. The initial value will be constrained to the limits.
the scale to use
the lowest scale allowed
the highest scale allowed
this control
If the name of a valid color scheme is provided then it will use it to display the control, non-existant scheme names will be ignored. In both cases this control is returned.
If there is no parameter it returns the name of the current color scheme used by this control.
Optionalname: stringthe color scheme name e.g. 'blue'
Optionalcascade: booleanif true propogate scheme to all child controls.

This sets the event handler to be used when this control fires an event. The parameter can take one of three forms:

The current status is an object with 3 fields { cX, cY, scale }
where -
cX, cY is the position in the image that correseponds to the view center andscale is the current scale used to display the image.the current status
Sets the view of the image to be displayed. If you enter values outside the image or ar scale value outside scaler limts they will be constrained to legal action on the viewer to report back changes to the view centre and/or scale attributes.
Displays a layered image the same size or larger than the view.
Scrolling: if the image is larger than the control then it can panned by dragging the mouse on the image. Alternatively the scrollbars, which automatically appear when if needed, can be used to pane the image.
Zooming: requires the user to request a scaler when creating this control. When the mouse is near the centre a slider will appear which can be used to zoom in to and out of te image.
This control also supports layers where multiple images can be layered to make the final visual. Layers can be added, removed, hiiden and show on an individual basis
