Thanks ; you're welcome :) GCZoomView is independent of DrawKit, and can be downloaded and deployed separately: http://apptree.net/gczoomview.htm There may be small differences between this and the version you get in DK however - DK's copy is possibly slightly more up to date. > The problem is i don't know how would it be right to implement Zooming > (similar to how graphics editors do it - by allowing the user to > select some area of the view with a selection rectangle, and, after > the mouseUp event happens, zoom in or out the view that is contained > within an NSScrollView. GCZoomView will help you do this, but it doesn't implement the mouse dragging part, you'll have to do that yourself in order to define the rectangle, then you can use [GCZoomView zoomViewToRect:] to adjust the zoom scale and scroll to that rectangle. The zooming does not change the coordinate system of the view itself, the view content is not aware of the zoom unless you deliberately code it to be so. --Graham_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
