Graphics32: Pan with mouse-drag, zoom to mouse cursor with mouse wheel

Question

I need to implement a pan as I click and drag the mouse, and zoom/unzoom towards/away from the mouse cursor that uses the mouse wheel. (In Delphi 2010, with the image anchored to left,right,top,bottom the form.)

I've just installed Graphics32 and seen how its built-in scroll bars and .Scale allow some of this. It's tantalizingly easy to at least get that far.

Questions:

Is Graphics32 a good tool for this kind of thing? Are there other (perhaps more simple?) tools that I might look into?

Does anyone have any pointers or sample code on how to implement the above?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Graphics32 provides a component named TImgView32 which can zoom by setting the Scale property. The appropriate way to do so is by using the OnMouseWheelUp and -Down events. Set TabStop to True for triggering these events and set Centered to False. But scaling in this manner does not comply with your wish to center the zooming operation at the mouse cursor. So repositioning and resizing around that point is a nicer solution. Further, as I understand, the image is always aligned in the top-left corner of the component, so panning must also be accomplished by repositioning the component.

uses
  Windows, Classes, Controls, Forms, GR32_Image, GR32_Layers, Jpeg;

type
  TForm1 = class(TForm)
    ImgView: TImgView32;
    procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
    procedure ImgViewMouseWheel(Sender: TObject; Shift: TShiftState;
      WheelDelta: Integer; MousePos: TPoint; var Handled: Boolean);
    procedure ImgViewMouseDown(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton;

      Y: Integer);
    procedure FormMouseUp(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton;
      Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
  private
    FDragging: Boolean;
    FFrom: TPoint;
  end;

implementation

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  ImgView.Bitmap.LoadFromFile('D:\Pictures\Mona_Lisa.jpg');

    begin

      R.Left := Left + X - Round(ZoomFactor[WheelDelta > 0] * X);
      R.Top := Top + Y - Round(ZoomFactor[WheelDelta > 0] * Y);
      R.Right := R.Left + Round(ZoomFactor[WheelDelta > 0] * Width);

  Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer; Layer: TCustomLayer);
begin
  FDragging := True;
  ImgView.Enabled := False; { Temporarily, to get MouseMove to the parent }
  FFrom := Point(X, Y);
end;

procedure TForm1.FormMouseMove(Sender: TObject; Shift: TShiftState; X,
  Y: Integer);
begin
  if FDragging then
    ImgView.SetBounds(X - FFrom.X, Y - FFrom.Y, ImgView.Width, ImgView.Height);
end;

  Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);

  ImgView.SetFocus;
end;

Edit: Alternative with TImage instead of TImgView32:

uses
  Windows, Classes, Controls, Forms, Jpeg, ExtCtrls;

type
  TForm1 = class(TForm)
    Image: TImage;
    procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
    procedure FormMouseWheel(Sender: TObject; Shift: TShiftState;
      WheelDelta: Integer; MousePos: TPoint; var Handled: Boolean);
    procedure FormMouseMove(Sender: TObject; Shift: TShiftState; X,
      Y: Integer);
    procedure FormMouseUp(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton;
      Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
    procedure ImageDblClick(Sender: TObject);
    procedure ImageMouseDown(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton;
      Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
  private
    FDragging: Boolean;
    FFrom: TPoint;
    FOrgImgBounds: TRect;
  end;
