Zoom behavior in TSimpleGraph

[Kambiz]

Here are methods that can manage each case:

1. ChangeZoomBy(ADelta, zoCursor);
2. ScrollCenter(CursorPos); ChangeZoomBy(ADelta, zoCenter);
3. ZoomGraph;
4. ZoomRect(ARect);
5. ChangeZoom(100, zoTopLeft);

elias's idea is somehow combination of zoCursor and zoCenter. The point under cursor should move toward center.

By the way, I'll add a zoCursorCenter option for the second case.

Yes indeed. That's why I said that we can do whatever zoom we like.

The point under cursor should move toward center.

I think he wants it a bit fancy and animated like. As soon as initial and final states are known, he can throw in a few intermediate steps.


Thank you Kambiz

Animated zoom is possible. For example, the new SGDemo has the following code for Mouse Wheel handlers.

Code: Select all

procedure TMainForm.SimpleGraphMouseWheelDown(Sender: TObject;
  Shift: TShiftState; MousePos: TPoint; var Handled: Boolean);
var
  I: Integer;
begin
  MousePos := SimpleGraph.ScreenToClient(MousePos);
  if PtInRect(SimpleGraph.ClientRect, MousePos) then
  begin
    for I := 1 to 5 do
    begin
      SimpleGraph.ChangeZoomBy(-1, zoCursor);
      SimpleGraph.Update;
    end;
    Handled := True;
  end;
end;

procedure TMainForm.SimpleGraphMouseWheelUp(Sender: TObject;
  Shift: TShiftState; MousePos: TPoint; var Handled: Boolean);
var
  I: Integer;
begin
  MousePos := SimpleGraph.ScreenToClient(MousePos);
  if PtInRect(SimpleGraph.ClientRect, MousePos) then
  begin
    for I := 1 to 5 do
    begin
      SimpleGraph.ChangeZoomBy(+1, zoCursor);
      SimpleGraph.Update;
    end;
    Handled := True;
  end;
end;

:) I think I see clear now the procedures I have to use. As soon as I can I'll send you a test for prooving. Found helpful your posts.
