Custom XML for Digital Slide Navigation in Chrome

Post by netduckie »

Dear Forum,
Apologies this field is completely new to me and despite reading up about XML etc.. I'm having no luck.

I'm trying to use a SpaceMousePro to navigate around a digital pathology slide such as this one:
https://www.virtualpathology.leeds.ac.u ... F64908.svs

My current Chrome XML config is pasted at the bottom.
Output like "HIDMouse_Wheel" seem to work (I can zoom in and out), but scrolling (?panning) vertically and horizontally do not.

Do I need to substitute "HIDMultiAxis_Rz" etc.. for something else?
For completeness, when navigating a normal webpage I can only scroll vertically. I have deleted the config and reinstalled to no avail.

Sorry again for my ignorance, any help much appreciated

Thanks,
Jim

We've looked at this before. It's a nice use of the device.

We didn't get far trying to use the XML files to make this work.
I have some experimental code you can try if you want. PM me your email address.

Many thanks Jwick.
I'm too New to send PMs apparently! Perhaps you can PM me first and that will allow me to reply?
Alternatively I monitor this temp-email [email protected]
Many thanks for you help,
