AffineTransform: scaling a Shape from its center

I'm trying to scale a rectangle from its center using AffineTransform. I'm sure the solution is obvious but I cannot make it work ! Here is what I've tested so far...

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.Rectangle;
import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import javax.swing.JPanel;

public class Test extends JPanel {
    Test()
        {
        super(null);
        setOpaque(true);
        setBackground(Color.WHITE);
        setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200,200));
        }
    @Override
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g1) {
        super.paintComponent(g1);
        Rectangle r= new Rectangle(5,5,getWidth()-10,getHeight()-10);
        double cx= r.getCenterX();
        double cy= r.getCenterY();
        Graphics2D g=(Graphics2D)g1;
        g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
        AffineTransform old= g.getTransform();
        for(double zoom=0.9; zoom>=0.5; zoom-=0.1)
            {
            AffineTransform tr2= new AffineTransform(old);
            tr2.translate(-cx, -cy);
            tr2.scale(zoom, zoom);
            tr2.translate(cx/zoom,cy/zoom);
            g.setTransform(tr2);
            g.draw(r);
            g.setTransform(old);
            }
        }


    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, new Test());
        }
    }

But it doesn't work.... Any suggestion ?

Assuming scaling fixes the location of the top lefthand corner of the rectangle (which I think is right but it's been a long time since I've done graphics in Java), you need to translate the rectangle in the direction opposite to the scaling.

tr2.translate(
    r.getWidth()*(1-zoom)/2,
    r.getHeight()*(1-zoom)/2
);
tr2.scale(zoom,zoom);
g.setTransform(tr2);

So you move the rectangle left and up half of the change in width and height.

I was just working on a desktop application to crop Brittney Spear's face (D.A.Y.) The cropping rectangle had to scale around its center point:

import javafx.scene.Cursor;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.input.MouseEvent;
import javafx.scene.input.ScrollEvent;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.paint.Paint;
import javafx.scene.shape.Rectangle;

class ResizableRectangle extends Rectangle {

 ResizableRectangle(double x, double y, double width, double height, Group group) {

  super(x, y, width, height);

  // Set scroll listener for crop selection
  group.addEventHandler(ScrollEvent.SCROLL, event -> {
   double zoomFactor = 1.10;
   double deltaY = event.getDeltaY();
   if (deltaY > 0) {
    zoomFactor = 2.0 - zoomFactor;
   }

   super.setX(getX() + (super.getWidth() * (1 - zoomFactor) / 2)); // Set new X position
   super.setWidth(getWidth() * zoomFactor); // Set new Width

   super.setY(getY() + (super.getHeight() * (1 - zoomFactor) / 2)); // Set new Y position
   super.setHeight(getHeight() * zoomFactor); // Set new Height

   event.consume();
  });
 });
}

In general, the algorithm works like this:

  • Translate rectangle x-values with: x + (width * (1 - zoomFactor) / 2)
  • Translate y-values with: y + (height * (1 - zoomFactor) / 2)
  • Set new width to: width * zoomFactor
  • Set new height to: height * zoomFactor
