Hello all,

Please look at the picture.

I start drawing with a 2000 X 1000 rectangle that is the gray area.
Then I create the text elements outside the rectangle.

Using the LayersRect() method, I get a rectangle with the boundaries of all layers. This is the blue rectangle.

GetIdealZoom refers to the original 2000 x 1000 rectangle.

How can I adjust the original rectangle 2000 x 1000 to the dimensions of the blue rectangle so that the zooming works?



ImageEnView1.LockUpdate();
ImageEnView1.ClearAll;
ImageEnView1.Proc.Clear;
ImageEnView1.Proc.ImageResize(2000, 1000);

//Draw all elements here.

ImageEnView1.UnlockUpdate();
ImageEnView1.Zoom := ImageEnView1.GetIdealZoom * 0.9;

Hi Kostas

I'll need to come back to you on this later in the week when I have a chance to investigate the best solution. Perhaps, we need an extra parameter for GetIdealZoom().

Hi Kostas

GetIdealZoom seems to be returning the correct dimensions even when layers are outside the background layer.

This works for me:

ImageEnView1.LayerOptions := ImageEnView1.LayerOptions + [loDynamicCanvas];
ImageEnView1.Zoom := ImageEnView1.GetIdealZoom;


Can you confirm what you are seeing?

Hi Nogel,

Unfortunately it did not work.

These are my results










Do you have another idea?

Hi

Can you give me the code to generate your content (I was testing again the version that you emailed me earlier, which is different).

I suspect the issue is related to the size/position of your layer 0 (perhaps make it a different color so it is easier to see its effect).

Hi Nigel,

Thank you for taking the time to do it. I appreciate that.

I've revised the demo.

Please two more questions:
-I still have to draw a lot of complex graphics like this. Is my approach the right way to draw lines, texts and polilines? Texts are not always drawn cleanly depending on the zoom lavel.

-If you click the Draw button a second time, the next graphic is drawn slightly offset. Apparently I'm not removing everything right.

Hi Nigel,

Regarding the second question: Clear All for drawing new objects, I have found the solution.

I ran that to clean up.


  ImageEnView1.LockUpdate();
  ImageEnView1.ClearAll;
  ImageEnView1.LayersClear;
  ImageEnView1.Proc.Clear;

  //Draw new objects

  ImageEnView1.UnlockUpdate();


And that's how it works.


  ImageEnView1.LockUpdate();
  ImageEnView1.ClearAll;
  ImageEnView1.ResetState; //<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

  //Draw new objects

  ImageEnView1.UnlockUpdate();

Hi Kostas

Sorry for the delay. The issue here is that because they layers are positioned offset (not originating at 0,0) then they are not adequately centered (rightly or wrongly ImageEn considers the origin position when centering the view.

The solution is to give your layer group the origin of 0,0:

var 
  rect: TIERectangle;
begin
  rect := ImageEnView1.LayersRect(False, True);
  ImageEnView1.LayersRepositionAll(-rect.X, - rect.Y);


Here's a full example:

// Zoom so layers fill entire view area

// Make IEView consider all layers when calculating image bounds
ImageEnView1.LayerOptions := ImageEnView1.LayerOptions + [loDynamicCanvas];

// Position layers so origin is 0,0
rect := ImageEnView1.LayersRect(False, True);
ImageEnView1.LayersRepositionAll(-rect.X, - rect.Y);

// Adjust zoom so all layers fill the view area
ImageEnView1.Fit();


In v10.0.2 you can also do it this way:

// Adjust view to show all layers
var
  rect: TIERectangle;
begin
  // Make IEView consider all layers when calculating image bounds
  ImageEnView1.LayerOptions := ImageEnView1.LayerOptions + [loDynamicCanvas];

  // Position layers so origin is 0,0
  rect := ImageEnView1.LayersRect(False, True);
  ImageEnView1.LayersRepositionAll(-rect.X, - rect.Y);

  // Get updated layer rect and show it at size of control
  rect := ImageEnView1.LayersRect(False, True);
  ImageEnView1.VisibleBitmapRect := IERectangleToRect( rect );
end;

If I use your suggestion with LayersRepositionAll together with ResetState everything works perfectly.
Thank you very much, Nigel.

Hi Nigel,

Unfortunately, I now have one more problem.

Depending on the zoom position, some text is cut off and it has nothing to do with the length.

If I change the zoom (change the height of the form) there are places where the texts are cut off.

I absolutely have to prevent that. Do you have any idea?

I've expanded the example.

Hi Kostas

Have you tried setting TextOverflow to ieoShrink?

ImageEN and their support is fantastic.
Now everything works perfectly.


procedure LabelinigXAxis;
          begin
            ImageEnView1.LayersAdd( ielkText );
            with TIETextLayer( ImageEnView1.CurrentLayer ) do
            begin
              Text := 'That is a very loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong text.'; //'Headline Top';
              Font.Name := 'Arial';
              Font.Size := Round(5*multi);
              Font.Style := [fsBold];
              TextOverflow := ieoShrink;
              WordWrap := false;
              SizeToText();
              PosX := (LimitsRect.Width div 2) - (Width div 2);
              PosY := 0 + (Height div 2) - Round(15*multi);
            end;
          end;



Have a nice day, Nigel
