Simple java applet zoom question

**Lemmy Winks** · 07-02-2012, 03:02 AM

Hi in my simple applet i have a large image on a panel which i have drawn over in java. If i zoom in on this image will the graphics i drew on the image stay on the same part of the picture and stay the same scale as the picture, or will the graphics stay the same size and place on the panel while only the picture itself zooms?

Thanks

It depends on just how you zoom in on the image and how you've drawn on it. The devil's in the details.

[Hint: please tell us how you plan to do this zoom and how you're showing your image and how you draw on the image. A bit of code would help much too, best would be an SSCCE].

So its totally possible if im just drawing a shape with the graphics method/object or whatever it is.

It is, but again, how are you doing everything?

Im just creating shapes and putting them over the image on a GUI panel. I havnt started yet this question is more me finding out if zooming properlly is possible, if it wasnt i would then have to use a fixed image size and my program would be differnt, better to find out now instead of doing all the work only to find out i have to change abunch of stuff.
