Direct or object graphics [message #17099]

I'm in the process of creating a program to display an array of data as
an image. I would like it to work in much the same way as a paint
program like Photoshop. When the user selects the file to open, the
image will be scaled inside of a window. As the user resizes the window
the image will stay the same size, but centered in the window with some
sort of fill around it to differentiate it from the background space.
The user will also have the option to zoom in and out on the image
causing it to fill more of the window or less of the window. My
question is, would it be better to do this in direct or object graphics
mode? The image will not be 3D. I am looking to optimize speed and
also allow the user to have as much control over the image as possible
(things like drawing and extracting a region of interest). This whole
application will be contained inside of a Visual Basic framework using
ActiveX to communicate back and forth.

Any help that can be provided will be greatly appreciated...
