JavaFX correct scaling

Tags:

scale

javafx

I want to scale all nodes in a Pane on a scroll event.

What I have tried so far:

  1. When I do scaleX or scaleY, border of pane scales respectively (seen when set Pane style -fx-border-color: black;). So not every event would start if I'm not from the borders of pane, so I need it all.enter image description here

  2. Next step I tried to scale each node and it turned out really bad, something like this - (lines stretched through the points). Or if scrolling in other side, it would be less enter image description here

  3. Another method I tried was to scale points of Node. It's better, but I don't like it. It looks like point.setScaleX(point.getScaleX()+scaleX) and for y and other nodes appropriately.

I created a sample app to demonstrate one approach to performing scaling of a node in a viewport on a scroll event (e.g. scroll in and out by rolling the mouse wheel).

The key logic to the sample for scaling a group placed within a StackPane:

final double SCALE_DELTA = 1.1;
final StackPane zoomPane = new StackPane();

zoomPane.getChildren().add(group);
zoomPane.setOnScroll(new EventHandler<ScrollEvent>() {
  @Override public void handle(ScrollEvent event) {
    event.consume();

    if (event.getDeltaY() == 0) {
      return;
    }

    double scaleFactor =
      (event.getDeltaY() > 0)
        ? SCALE_DELTA
        : 1/SCALE_DELTA;

    group.setScaleX(group.getScaleX() * scaleFactor);
    group.setScaleY(group.getScaleY() * scaleFactor);
  }
});

The scroll event handler is set on the enclosing StackPane which is a resizable pane so it expands to fill any empty space, keeping the zoomed content centered in the pane. If you move the mouse wheel anywhere inside the StackPane it will zoom in or out the enclosed group of nodes.

Update for a zoomed node in a ScrollPane

The above implementation works well as far as it goes, but it is useful to be able to place the zoomed node inside a scroll pane, so that when you zoom in making the zoomed node larger than your available viewport, you can still pan around the zoomed node within the scroll pane to view parts of the node.

I found achieving the behavior of zooming in a scroll pane difficult, so I asked for help on an Oracle JavaFX Forum thread.

Oracle JavaFX forum user James_D came up with the following solution which solves the zooming within a ScrollPane problem quite well.

His comments and code were as below:

A couple of minor changes first: I wrapped the StackPane in a Group so that the ScrollPane would be aware of the changes to the transforms, as per the ScrollPane Javadocs. And then I bound the minimum size of the StackPane to the viewport size (keeping the content centered when smaller than the viewport).

Initially I thought I should use a Scale transform to zoom around the displayed center (i.e. the point on the content that is at the center of the viewport). But I found I still needed to fix the scroll position afterwards to keep the same displayed center, so I abandoned that and reverted to using setScaleX() and setScaleY().

The trick is to fix the scroll position after scaling. I computed the scroll offset in local coordinates of the scroll content, and then computed the new scroll values needed after the scale. This was a little tricky. The basic observation is that (hValue-hMin)/(hMax-hMin) = x / (contentWidth - viewportWidth), where x is the horizontal offset of the left edge of the viewport from the left edge of the content. Then you have centerX = x + viewportWidth/2.

After scaling, the x coordinate of the old centerX is now centerX*scaleFactor. So we just have to set the new hValue to make that the new center. There's a bit of algebra to figure that out.

After that, panning by dragging was pretty easy :).

A corresponding feature request to add high level APIs to support zooming and scaling functionality in a ScrollPane is Add scaleContent functionality to ScrollPane. Vote for or comment on the feature request if you would like to see it implemented.

The answer from jewelsea has one issue, if the size of original content in the zoomPane is already larger than View Port. Then the following code will not work. zoomPane.setMinSize(newValue.getWidth(), newValue.getHeight());

The result is when we zoom out, the content is not centered any more.

To resolve this issue, you need to create another StackPane in between the zoomPane and ScrollPane.

        // Create a zoom pane for zoom in/out
    final StackPane zoomPane = new StackPane();
    zoomPane.getChildren().add(group);
    final Group zoomContent = new Group(zoomPane);
    // Create a pane for holding the content, when the content is smaller than the view port,
    // it will stay the view port size, make sure the content is centered
    final StackPane canvasPane = new StackPane();
    canvasPane.getChildren().add(zoomContent);
    final Group scrollContent = new Group(canvasPane);
    // Scroll pane for scrolling
    scroller = new ScrollPane();
    scroller.setContent(scrollContent);

And in the viewportBoundsProperty listener, Change zoomPane to canvasPane

// Set the minimum canvas size
canvasPane.setMinSize(newValue.getWidth(), newValue.getHeight());

JavaFx is too complicated for zoom in/out. To achieve the same effect, WPF is much easier.
