Hi Kakadu31!

  I suppose the question is how do you want to do it.  In the short term, it sounds like you're able to open a browser to display the image.  The WebGui is already a browser, so we could try to make an image show up in the browser like that, or there is the old Swing based gui.  We're generally moving away from the Swing GUI, but sometimes it's still useful.  

 You mentioned OpenCV, and open CV does have a lot of capabilities for dealing with Image data.  I guess the question is what is the end goal here?  It sounds like the goal is to be able to display/project the image.  This likely means that you want to display the image full screen.  I think that should be do-able.

  My guess is that you've got ProgramAB returning back a URL to an image.  From ProgramAB you could invoke a method on a service to display the image full screen.  As it stands now, I suspect if you had a python method that could display the image full screen, and have programAB use an OOB tag to invoke that python method, that would be a quick/easy way to do it.

  We actually use "jython" as our python interpreter, so it might not have all the libraries that you are looking for.  

Many ways to make this happen.. just need to pick a path and start going down it..

Hi Kakadu31,
This is your endgoal ya ? :D

I think you have excellent ideas !
I tried your ImageDisplay service - and found myself staring at Kevin Bob & Stuart  WOOHOO !

I've scanned over your code. I'm impressed with how much and how well you did with very little help.  Do you practice Code-Fu by profession?

I like the way you organized things - very clean & clear.

Here are some suggestions :

1. Change your comments with
/**
*  .... comment ...
*/
This will generate JavaDocs

2. We use camel case (well done) ... whenever you have an abbreviation .. the following letters are small cased just like a word would be .. e.g. parseXML  should be parseXml ... same goes for buildFrameFs 

3. Swing Gah ! :)  We are moving away from swing display, although its very cool you got it all to work ..
Theoretically you could test your Angular skillz and do the same thing in Angular

Here is a Angular lib which looks like it would work :

https://github.com/fabiobiondi/angular-fullscreen 

with demo here :

http://www.fabiobiondi.com/demo/github/angular-fullscreen/demo/

If you do it in Angular JS - the display components become remote - and the Service will have no actual display methods .. which begs the question .. "What will ImageDisplay do?" ... the answer being very little since its a "image display" versus "image processor" ... just thinking ahead about possiblities... its good to have clear definitions of roles & responsiblities for services..

For example thumbnails - or tiles might be wanted - but for the most part this is controlled by Angular and not actual manipulations of the original image file data.. 

just some ideas to keep you rolling ...

4. We don't use - System.out.println ..  log is much more capable...
log.info("some info statement {}", someVar)
Or if you want the information to be propegated to a display (or other subscribers) you can just do
info("hello world) ... this sends publishes a Status object of info level to any subscribers

5. Only Services should be in org.myrobotlab.service ..  DisplayedImage should be in an already existing package .. e.g. org.myrobotlab.image  ..  Some utilities and processes expect only services in the service package.
