The Seadragon control can be used for interactively viewing images. Use your mouse to pan and zoom around the image.

animationTime - The amount of time in seconds that animations should last. Default is 1.5.
blendTime - The amount of time in seconds that new tiles take to blend from transparent to opaque. Default is 0.5.
alwaysBlend - Whether tiles should always blend in and out, not just when they're first loaded. Default is false.
autoHideControls - Whether controls should get automatically hidden when the user's mouse is off the viewer and the image has stopped animating. Default is true.
immediateRender - Whether the most appropriate tiles should always be rendered first, before any lower-res tiles are rendered. This loses the "sharpening" effect and instead creates a very visible "tiling" effect. Default is false.
minZoomDimension - The minimum size (in screen pixels) of either dimension that can result from zooming out. Default is 16.
maxZoomPixelRatio - The maximum pixel ratio (screen pixel to content pixel) that can result from zooming in. Default is 4.
visibilityRatio - The minimum portion of the viewport that must show visible content in both dimensions. Default is 0.1.
springStiffness - Determines how sharply the springs used for animations move. Default is 5.0.
imageLoaderLimit - The maximum number of concurrent image downloads that can be performed by each viewer. Default is 2.
clickTimeThreshold - The maximum number of milliseconds that can pass between a mousedown and a mouseup for the action to still be considered a "quick" click. Default is 200.
clickDistThreshold - The maximum number of pixels the mouse can move between a mousedown and a mouseup for the action to still be considered a "quick" click. Default is 5.
zoomPerClick - The factor by which images should zoom when clicked on. Default is 2.
zoomPerSecond - The factor by which images should zoom over each second when the zoom buttons are held down. Default is 2.
sourceUrl - The path for all UI images. This can be absolute or relative. If relative, it must be relative to the HTML page. A change to this value will only affect new viewers. Default is "img/".
showNavigationControl - Whether navigation buttons should be shown.
