I'm trying to create an application with a zoomable/pannable canvas.
Features:
The zooming at the pivot point works as long as you start the zooming at scale 1. Position the mouse over a grid point and scroll the mouse wheel. The pivot point will remain where you started zooming.
Problem:
When you zoom in, then move the mouse to another point and zoom again, then the pivot point is shifted and zooming isn't happening anymore at the initial mouse position.
Example:
Here's the code:
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Node;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.canvas.Canvas;
import javafx.scene.canvas.GraphicsContext;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.input.MouseEvent;
import javafx.scene.input.ScrollEvent;
import javafx.scene.layout.Pane;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.shape.Circle;
import javafx.scene.shape.Rectangle;
import javafx.scene.transform.Scale;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

Scale scaleTransform;
public PannableCanvas() {
setPrefSize(600, 600);
setStyle("-fx-background-color: lightgrey; -fx-border-color: blue;");
// add scale transform
scaleTransform = new Scale( 1.0, 1.0);
getTransforms().add( scaleTransform);
// logging
addEventFilter(MouseEvent.MOUSE_PRESSED, event -> {
System.out.println(
"canvas event: " + ( ((event.getSceneX() - getBoundsInParent().getMinX()) / getScale()) + ", scale: " + getScale())
);
System.out.println( "canvas bounds: " + getBoundsInParent());
});
}

It's obviously something wrong with the pivot point calculation, but I can't figure out what it is and how to fix it.
Thank you very much!

First I would recommend to not scale in linear steps but by factors to smooth the scaling:
double delta = 1.2;
if (event.getDeltaY() < 0)
scale /= delta;
else
scale *= delta;
... and to be somehow bossy, I recommend curly brackets as a good style ;-) :
double delta = 1.2;
if (event.getDeltaY() < 0) {
scale /= delta;
} else {
scale *= delta;
}
... and to use the mouse scroll value for even better quality:
double delta = 1.2;
if (event.getDeltaY() < 0) {
scale /= Math.pow(delta, -event.getDeltaY()/20);
} else {
scale *= Math.pow(delta, event.getDeltaY()/20);
}
... that is finally the same as:
scale *= Math.pow(1.01, event.getDeltaY());
Second I recomend to use the canvas translate and scale properties instead of a Transformation:
public class ZoomApplication extends Application {
static public class PannableCanvas extends Pane {
DoubleProperty myScale = new SimpleDoubleProperty(1.0);
public PannableCanvas() {
setPrefSize(600, 600);
setStyle("-fx-background-color: lightgrey; -fx-border-color: blue;");
// add scale transform
scaleXProperty().bind(myScale);
scaleYProperty().bind(myScale);
// logging
addEventFilter(MouseEvent.MOUSE_PRESSED, event -> {
System.out.println(
"canvas event: " + ( ((event.getSceneX() - getBoundsInParent().getMinX()) / getScale()) + ", scale: " + getScale())
);
System.out.println( "canvas bounds: " + getBoundsInParent());
});

After some thoughts about zoom, I came to the conclusion, that it would be a good idea to
So I wrote the following helper method:
/** Allow to zoom/scale any node with pivot at scene (x,y) coordinates.
*
* @param node
* @param delta
* @param x
* @param y
*/
public static void zoom(Node node, double factor, double x, double y) {
double oldScale = node.getScaleX();
double scale = oldScale * factor;
if (scale < 0.05) scale = 0.05;
if (scale > 50) scale = 50;
node.setScaleX(scale);
node.setScaleY(scale);
double f = (scale / oldScale)-1;
Bounds bounds = node.localToScene(node.getBoundsInLocal());
double dx = (x - (bounds.getWidth()/2 + bounds.getMinX()));
double dy = (y - (bounds.getHeight()/2 + bounds.getMinY()));
node.setTranslateX(node.getTranslateX()-f*dx);
node.setTranslateY(node.getTranslateY()-f*dy);
}
public static void zoom(Node node, ScrollEvent event) {
zoom(node, Math.pow(1.01, event.getDeltaY()), event.getSceneX(), event.getSceneY());
}
public static void zoom(Node node, ZoomEvent event) {
zoom(node, event.getZoomFactor(), event.getSceneX(), event.getSceneY());
}
allowing me to register zoom function on any node as easy as:
myView.setOnScroll(event -> GUITools.zoom(myView, event)); // mouse scroll wheel zoom
myView.setOnZoom(event -> GUITools.zoom(myView, event)); // pinch to zoom
and done...
