[PATCH] Encyclopedia of Life image search #18

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
This patch adds a class (EOLImageService) that searches the Encyclopedia of 
Life for taxon images, which can be used in place of the current Google image 
search.  Minor changes were made to the existing ImageSearcher to accommodate 
this.

Forgot to mention: the EOL web service tends to be a bit slower than google, 
and won't 
necessarily have images for every taxon.  But the upside is that it's all 
vetted 
biological images.  Also note that this isn't really integrated into the gui 
yet.  The 
new ImageSearcher will still use google image search by default, but has a new 
setImageService() method to switch the image search.  The chosen image search 
is still 
currently triggered by the "Load Google Images" menu item.
