destroy()

This method will remove the thumbnails from the original HTMLElement and return it to its previous state. It will destroy all of the thumbnails and release their resources. The ThumbnailControl can no longer be used after calling this method, and a new one will need to be created to continue viewing thumbnails.

getSelectedPages() → {Array.<number>}

Gets the currently selected thumbnails.

See:
Returns:

The page numbers of the selected thumbnails.

Type
Array.<number>

getViewerControl() → {PCCViewer.ViewerControl}

Gets the PCCViewer.ViewerControl object associated with this ThumbnailControl.

Returns:

The ViewerControl associated with this ThumbnailControl.

Type
PCCViewer.ViewerControl

getVisiblePages() → {Array.<number>}

Gets the page numbers of the pages currently visible in the ThumbnailControl view. This will include pages that are only partly visible, as well as pages that are not yet fully loaded but part of their placeholder is visible.

Returns:

An array of page numbers.

Type
Array.<number>

off(eventType, handler) → {PCCViewer.ThumbnailControl}

Unsubscribe an event handler from a specified event type.

Typically, an event is unsubscribed when you no longer want further notification of the event.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
eventType string

A string specifying the event type. See PCCViewer.ThumbnailControl.EventType for a list and description of all supported events.

handler PCCViewer.Event~eventHandler

A function that was attached previously to the ViewerControl.

Note: This must be the same function object previously passed to PCCViewer.ThumbnailControl#on. It cannot be an different object that is functionally equivalent.

See:
Returns:

The ThumbnailControl object on which this method was called.

Type
PCCViewer.ThumbnailControl

on(eventType, handler) → {PCCViewer.ThumbnailControl}

Subscribe an event handler to an event of a specified type.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
eventType string

Type
PCCViewer.ThumbnailControl

reflow() → {PCCViewer.ThumbnailControl}

This method will calculate the size of a thumbnail based on the defined CSS, and will fit each individual page element to the thumbnail container. This method can also be called to programmatically trigger the loading of newly visible pages in cases where the thumbnail view either dynamically or manually changes size, or the thumbnails themselves change size.

Note: This method can be a bit expensive, so it is best to debounce it from any event that triggers a thumbnail resize, such as a window resize.

Returns:

The ThumbnailControl object on which this method was called.

Type
PCCViewer.ThumbnailControl
Example
// First, get the thumbnailControl

// Create a resize function
var resize = function(){
    thumbnailControl.reflow();
};

// Create a debounce function
var debounceTimer;
var debounceEvent = function(){
    if (debounceTimer) {
        clearTimeout(debounceTimer);
        debounceTimer = undefined;
    }

    debounceTimer = setTimeout(resize, 300);
};

// Add the debounced function to the resize event
window.onresize = debounceEvent;

Scrolls to a specified page. By default, this will be done using the minimum amount of scrolling, so pages that are above the current view will be scrolled to appear at the top of the view, and pages below the current view will be scrolled to appear at the bottom. This can be overridden with the options parameter.
