An OpenSeadragon plugin that adds scaling HTML overlay capability. This is different from OpenSeadragon's built-in overlay functionality; while those overlays update their location as the user zooms and pans, they don't scale their contents to match the zoom of the OSD viewer.
Compatible with OpenSeadragon 2.0.0 or greater.
To use, include the openseadragon-html-overlay.js file after openseadragon.js on your web page.
To add HTML overlay capability to your OpenSeadragon Viewer, call htmlOverlay() on it. This will return a new object with the following methods:
element(): Returns the overlay's parent HTML element that you should add all of your HTML elements to. As the user zooms and pans, the parent element will transform to match. Add your elements according to the OpenSeadragon Viewport coordinate system.onClick(element, handler): If you want to accept click events on a child element, use this method. It takes care of making sure the click isn't also handled by the Viewer. The handler you provide is called when the click occurs and given a single argument, an OpenSeadragon.MouseTracker click event.
See demo.html for an example of it in use. You can see it in action at http://openseadragon.github.io/html-overlay/demo.html.
