Hi David,

Wow that isn't what I expected either and I was hoping the same thing
as you! I can't check it in 6.4, but in 6.3 it didn't work that way.
Well, it seems that I have to continue writing my own zoom code and
that it wasn't a waste of time writing it. Only some minor issues I
have to face (like re-drawing the ROI's in the same proportion as the
zoomed image) ;-)

Thanks

I've never used the ZoomIn/ZoomOut features before. But
I just put it into a program that was zooming in a different
way. For me, when I zoom in, the draw widget gets twice its
current size!! Zoom out, it shrinks down again.

I don't know about you, but that is not what I expected
at all. (IDL 6.4 on Windows). I was sort of hoping the
view would zoom in and out. Why would you want the draw
widget changing size!?

Cheers,

David

Erik, How are you zooming? I never use ROI's, but I would think that
if you are zooming by changing your viewplane rectangle that the ROI's
would "zoom" too. Here's the zoom method from my camera code:


pro Camera::Zoom, zoom
; Zoom the camera view by the specified zoom factor.

compile_opt idl2

if (N_ELEMENTS(zoom) eq 1) then begin
case 1 of
(zoom lt -1.0) : self.zoom = (-1.0D / zoom)
(zoom gt 1.0) : self.zoom = zoom
else : self.zoom = 1.0D
endcase

viewplaneRect = dblarr(4, /NOZERO)
viewplaneRect[0:1] = self.viewcoord[0:1] - $
(self.viewRect[2:3] / (2.0D * self.zoom))
viewplaneRect[2:3] = self.viewRect[2:3] / self.zoom

self -> IDLgrView::SetProperty, VIEWPLANE_RECT= viewplaneRect
endif

end


Set up the vars that store the initial state once, after you have set up
your initial view:

self -> IDLgrView::GetProperty, VIEWPLANE_RECT=viewplaneRect
self.viewRect = viewplaneRect
self.viewcoord[0] = ((2. * self.viewRect[0]) + $
self.viewRect[2]) / 2.
self.viewcoord[1] = ((2. * self.viewRect[1]) + $
self.viewRect[3]) / 2.
