Zoom effect by mouse Wheel in QGraphicsview

[chirudi]

Dear Frds,
In my project i have taken Qgraphicsscene and Qgraphicsview . I want to zoom the graphicsview using mouse wheel from the mouse pointer . I have tried but it not works with me . if i am zooming the view is not zooming from the mouse poiinter...............


anybody can help me ..............

What did you try, show us somthing.

You need to get the scroll steps fomr the wheel event and apply the appripriate transformation on the view.

void Widget::wheelEvent(QWheelEvent* event) {

QPointF pointBeforeScale(ui->graphicsView->mapToScene(event->pos()));

//Get the original screen centerpoint
QPointF screenCenter = GetCenter(); //CurrentCenterPoint; //(visRect.center());
ui->graphicsView->setTransformationAnchor(QGraphicsView::AnchorUnde rMouse);
//Scale the view ie. do the zoom
double scaleFactor = 1.15; //How fast we zoom
if(event->delta() > 0) {
//Zoom in
ui->graphicsView->scale(scaleFactor, scaleFactor);
} else {
//Zooming out
ui->graphicsView->scale(1.0 / scaleFactor, 1.0 / scaleFactor);
}
ui->graphicsView->setTransformationAnchor(QGraphicsView::NoAnchor );
//Get the position after scaling, in scene coords
QPointF pointAfterScale(ui->graphicsView->mapToScene(event->pos()));

//Get the offset of how the screen moved
QPointF offset = pointBeforeScale - pointAfterScale;

//Adjust to the new center for correct zooming
QPointF newCenter = screenCenter + offset;
SetCenter(newCenter);

Looks like you are not geting the calculations correct, check the following

void Widget::wheelEvent(QWheelEvent* event)
{
    // Typical Calculations (Ref Qt Doc)
    const int degrees = event->delta() / 8;
    int steps = degrees / 15;
 
    // Declare below as class member vars and set default values as below
    // qreal h11 = 1.0
    // qreal h12 = 0
    // qreal h21 = 1.0
    // qreal h22 = 0
 
    double scaleFactor = 1.0; //How fast we zoom
    const qreal minFactor = 1.0;
    const qreal maxFactor = 10.0;
    if(steps > 0)
    {
        h11 = (h11 >= maxFactor) ? h11 : (h11 + scaleFactor);
        h22 = (h22 >= maxFactor) ? h22 : (h22 + scaleFactor);
    }
    else
    {
        h11 = (h11 <= minFactor) ? minFactor : (h11 - scaleFactor);
        h22 = (h22 <= minFactor) ? minFactor : (h22 - scaleFactor);
    }
 
    ui->graphicsView->setTransformationAnchor(QGraphicsView::AnchorUnderMouse);
    ui->graphicsView->setTransform(QTransform(h11, h12, h21, h22, 0, 0));
}

void Widget::wheelEvent(QWheelEvent* event)
{
    // Typical Calculations (Ref Qt Doc)
    const int degrees = event->delta() / 8;
    int steps = degrees / 15;

    // Declare below as class member vars and set default values as below
    // qreal h11 = 1.0
    // qreal h12 = 0
    // qreal h21 = 1.0

    double scaleFactor = 1.0; //How fast we zoom
    const qreal minFactor = 1.0;
    const qreal maxFactor = 10.0;
    if(steps > 0)
    {
        h11 = (h11 >= maxFactor) ? h11 : (h11 + scaleFactor);
        h22 = (h22 >= maxFactor) ? h22 : (h22 + scaleFactor);

    {
        h11 = (h11 <= minFactor) ? minFactor : (h11 - scaleFactor);
        h22 = (h22 <= minFactor) ? minFactor : (h22 - scaleFactor);
    }

    ui->graphicsView->setTransformationAnchor(QGraphicsView::AnchorUnderMouse);
    ui->graphicsView->setTransform(QTransform(h11, h12, h21, h22, 0, 0));

Thank you for reply
In my project i have Qgraphicview and also Qgraphicscene and i have added Qpainterpath in Qgraphicscene and Qgraphicscene is added in Qgraphicsview so i am able to do zoom in graphicsview but the zoom is not done from the mouse pointer but from the center of graphicsview.

And another problem is that while drawing in the graphicsview, the view also move with drawing.
so please help me ............

ok dear i have slove the problem of moving of graphicview while drawing . i have set scenerect of graphicsview so the problem is slove but now while zooming is not done on the mouse pointer ........

[Santosh Reddy]

Did you try this

ui->graphicsView->setTransformationAnchor(QGraphicsView::AnchorUnderMouse);

ui->graphicsView->setTransformationAnchor(QGraphicsView::AnchorUnderMouse);

Note that the effect of this property is noticeable when only a part of the scene is visible (i.e., when there are scroll bars). Otherwise, if the whole scene fits in the view, QGraphicsScene uses the view alignment to position the scene in the view.

That i have tried but then also i am not getting the perfect zoom is there any problem of scenerect i have widget of size 1280*1024. and Graphicsview of size 1141*991 or suggest other tools on which i can draw my object on paintevent and also perform zoom effect on it .........

thank's

[Santosh Reddy]

having the scene rect bigger thatn view rect shuold make the Zoom effect work as expected, is there any thing else you are missing.

Other Tools: You can use a normal QWidget and implement paintevent, but you will need to handle zoom effect while painting (will not be as stright forward as in case of QGraphicsView).

[chirudi]

i have all done . but the zoom from mouse pointer is not done, zoom is doing to qgraphics view only

[Santosh Reddy]

See if this workaround works, add a QGraphicsRectItem, and set the QGraphicsRectItem rect larger than the screen (monitor) size

you can find the solution in this form

I used it in my code like this :

//in header file
 
protected:
    virtual void wheelEvent(QWheelEvent* event);
 
//in cpp file
void Dialog::wheelEvent(QWheelEvent *event){
 
        ui->graphicsView->setTransformationAnchor(QGraphicsView::AnchorUnderMouse);
        // Scale the view / do the zoom
        double scaleFactor = 1.15;
        if(event->delta() > 0) {
            // Zoom in
            ui->graphicsView-> scale(scaleFactor, scaleFactor);
 
        } else {
            // Zooming out
             ui->graphicsView->scale(1.0 / scaleFactor, 1.0 / scaleFactor);
        }
 
 
        //ui->graphicsView->setTransform(QTransform(h11, h12, h21, h22, 0, 0));
}

//in header file

protected:
    virtual void wheelEvent(QWheelEvent* event);

//in cpp file
void Dialog::wheelEvent(QWheelEvent *event){

        ui->graphicsView->setTransformationAnchor(QGraphicsView::AnchorUnderMouse);
        // Scale the view / do the zoom
        double scaleFactor = 1.15;
        if(event->delta() > 0) {
            // Zoom in
            ui->graphicsView-> scale(scaleFactor, scaleFactor);

        } else {
            // Zooming out
             ui->graphicsView->scale(1.0 / scaleFactor, 1.0 / scaleFactor);
        }


        //ui->graphicsView->setTransform(QTransform(h11, h12, h21, h22, 0, 0));
}
