Claim One:
1. A method for displaying desired information about an aircraft component from a plurality of image tiles by managing the plurality of image tiles on a display device in communication with a processor, the method comprising: identifying, by a processor, a plurality of resolutions in which the plurality of image tiles are to be stored and a style of presentation for the plurality of image tiles using a policy, wherein the plurality of image tiles all relate to the aircraft component, wherein some of the plurality of image tiles are on different types of media, wherein desired information about the aircraft component is contained in the plurality of image tiles, wherein the desired information is too extensive to fit onto a single image tile, and wherein review of all of the image tiles would be undesirably time consuming; storing, in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, a plurality of copies of the plurality of image tiles in the plurality of resolutions, wherein any given image tile is stored as multiple copies in different resolutions; selecting, by the processor, a copy of a particular image tile in the plurality of image tiles for a selected location in a layout defining a presentation for the plurality of image tiles using the style of presentation, wherein the copy of the particular image tile has a desired resolution in the plurality of resolutions, the desired resolution being selected according to the selected location in the layout, and the desired resolution further being selected, according to the policy, as being a higher relevance to the desired information about the aircraft component relative to information stored in remaining ones of the plurality of image tiles; selecting, by the processor, a second copy of a second particular image tile in the plurality of image tiles for a second selected location in the layout, the second particular image tile having a second resolution less than the desired resolution for the copy of the particular image tile, the second copy of the second particular image tile also relating to the aircraft component; and displaying, on a display device in communication with the processor, the layout, wherein the layout includes both the copy of the particular image tile and the second copy of the second particular image tile, wherein displaying includes adjusting the layout to present the copy of the particular tile image at the desired resolution and in the selected location and also to present the second copy of the second image tile at the second location at the second resolution, and whereby faster review of all of the tile images is facilitated relative to reviewing each of the plurality of tiles individually.
