Anchors for displaying image sprites, sub-regions and 3D images

摘要

Systems, methods and computer program products for displaying image sprites, sub-regions and three dimensional images includes (but is not limited to) receiving a composite image file containing multiple individual images and an index of the multiple individual images, parsing a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the composite image file as a function of the index of the multiple individual images, extracting a desired individual image from the composite image file as a function of the index and displaying the extracted individual image.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
generating a composite image file containing a plurality of individual images and an index, wherein an individual image in the plurality of individual images is referenced using an anchor, and the index in the composite image file associates the anchor to a location of the individual image in the composite image file; and transmitting the generated composite image file to a browser, whereby the browser extracts the individual image from the composite image file using the index and the anchor.
