   3   Views Slideshow: ImageFlow
   4  ============================
   5  
   6  This module will display a view of images using the ImageFlow JavaScript plugin
   7  available from http://finnrudolph.de/ImageFlow.
   8  
   9  ImageFlow is a picture gallery, which allows an intuitive image handling. The
  10  basic idea is to digitally animate the thumbing through a physical image stack.
  11  That intuitive handling is automatically caused by the metaphorical use of the
  12  well known process of thumbing through.
  13  
  14  This solution is known as the Cover Flow technique, which has been developed by
  15  the artist Andrew Coulter Enright. Now - after it has been bought by Apple - it
  16  is used in iTunes and the file browser of Apples OSX.

  19   Installation
  20  ==============
  21  
  22  1. Extract the contents of the project into your modules directory, probably at
  23     /sites/all/modules/views_slideshow_imageflow.
  24  2. Download the ImageFlow Javascript plugin from
  25     http://finnrudolph.de/ImageFlow/Download.
  26  3. Extract the contents of that archive into /sites/all/plugins/imageflow.
  27     You may optionally install that to another folder, but will need to then
  28     specify the new location at /admin/build/views/views_slideshow_imageflow.
  29  4. Create a new View with images, using 'Slideshow' for the 'Style', and
  30     'ImageFlow' for the 'Slideshow mode' when configuring the style.

  35  
  36  It's important to note that if you have anything besides images displayed in
  37  your view, it will be filtered out of the display. This plugin will only
  38  display images. However, it will respect any links the images point to, as
  39  specified by your View. Other than that, it should work with any image fields
  40  in your view, whether from the ImageField, Image, Embedded Media Field (using
  41  thumbnails), or other similar modules.
