Zoom Canvas to Mouse Cursor

I'm programming a HTML5 < canva开发者_JAVA技巧s > project that involves zooming in and out of images using the scroll wheel. I want to zoom towards the cursor like google maps does but I'm completely lost on how to calculate the movements.

What I have: image x and y (top-left corner); image width and height; cursor x and y relative to the center of the canvas.

In short, you want to translate() the canvas context by your offset, scale() it to zoom in or out, and then translate() back by the opposite of the mouse offset. Note that you need to transform the cursor position from screen space into the transformed canvas context.

ctx.translate(pt.x,pt.y);
ctx.scale(factor,factor);
ctx.translate(-pt.x,-pt.y);

Demo: http://phrogz.net/tmp/canvas_zoom_to_cursor.html

I've put up a full working example on my website for you to examine, supporting dragging, click to zoom in, shift-click to out, or scroll wheel up/down.

The only (current) issue is that Safari zooms too fast compared to Chrome or Firefox.

I recently needed to archive same results as Phrogz had already done but instead of using context.scale(), I calculated each object size based on ratio.

This is what I came up with. Logic behind it is very simple. Before scaling, I calculate point distance from edge in percentages and later adjust viewport to correct place.

It took me quite a while to come up with it, hope it saves someones time.

$(function () {
  var canvas = $('canvas.main').get(0)
  var canvasContext = canvas.getContext('2d')

  var ratio = 1
  var vpx = 0
  var vpy = 0
  var vpw = window.innerWidth
  var vph = window.innerHeight

  var orig_width = 4000
  var orig_height = 4000

  var width = 4000
  var height = 4000

  $(window).on('resize', function () {
    $(canvas).prop({
      width: window.innerWidth,
      height: window.innerHeight,
    })
  }).trigger('resize')

  $(canvas).on('wheel', function (ev) {
    ev.preventDefault() // for stackoverflow

    var step

    if (ev.originalEvent.wheelDelta) {
      step = (ev.originalEvent.wheelDelta > 0) ? 0.05 : -0.05
    }

    if (ev.originalEvent.deltaY) {
      step = (ev.originalEvent.deltaY > 0) ? 0.05 : -0.05
    }

    if (!step) return false // yea..

    var new_ratio = ratio + step
    var min_ratio = Math.max(vpw / orig_width, vph / orig_height)
    var max_ratio = 3.0

    if (new_ratio < min_ratio) {
      new_ratio = min_ratio
    }

    if (new_ratio > max_ratio) {
      new_ratio = max_ratio
    }

    // zoom center point
    var targetX = ev.originalEvent.clientX || (vpw / 2)
    var targetY = ev.originalEvent.clientY || (vph / 2)

    // percentages from side
    var pX = ((vpx * -1) + targetX) * 100 / width
    var pY = ((vpy * -1) + targetY) * 100 / height

    // update ratio and dimentsions
    ratio = new_ratio
    width = orig_width * new_ratio
    height = orig_height * new_ratio

    // translate view back to center point
    var x = ((width * pX / 100) - targetX)
    var y = ((height * pY / 100) - targetY)

    // don't let viewport go over edges
    if (x < 0) {
      x = 0
    }

    if (x + vpw > width) {
      x = width - vpw
    }

    if (y < 0) {
      y = 0
    }

    if (y + vph > height) {
      y = height - vph
    }

    vpx = x * -1
    vpy = y * -1
  })

  var is_down, is_drag, last_drag

  $(canvas).on('mousedown', function (ev) {
    is_down = true
    is_drag = false
    last_drag = { x: ev.clientX, y: ev.clientY }
  })

  $(canvas).on('mousemove', function (ev) {
    is_drag = true

    if (is_down) {
      var x = vpx - (last_drag.x - ev.clientX)
      var y = vpy - (last_drag.y - ev.clientY)

      if (x <= 0 && vpw < x + width) {
        vpx = x
      }

      if (y <= 0 && vph < y + height) {
        vpy = y
      }

      last_drag = { x: ev.clientX, y: ev.clientY }
    }
  })

  $(canvas).on('mouseup', function (ev) {
    is_down = false
    last_drag = null

    var was_click = !is_drag
    is_drag = false

    if (was_click) {

    }
  })

  $(canvas).css({ position: 'absolute', top: 0, left: 0 }).appendTo(document.body)

  function animate () {
    window.requestAnimationFrame(animate)

    canvasContext.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height)

    canvasContext.lineWidth = 1
    canvasContext.strokeStyle = '#ccc'

    var step = 100 * ratio

    for (var x = vpx; x < width + vpx; x += step) {
      canvasContext.beginPath()
      canvasContext.moveTo(x, vpy)
      canvasContext.lineTo(x, vpy + height)
      canvasContext.stroke()
    }
    for (var y = vpy; y < height + vpy; y += step) {
      canvasContext.beginPath()
      canvasContext.moveTo(vpx, y)
      canvasContext.lineTo(vpx + width, y)
      canvasContext.stroke()
    }

    canvasContext.strokeRect(vpx, vpy, width, height)

    canvasContext.beginPath()
    canvasContext.moveTo(vpx, vpy)
    canvasContext.lineTo(vpx + width, vpy + height)
    canvasContext.stroke()

    canvasContext.beginPath()
    canvasContext.moveTo(vpx + width, vpy)
    canvasContext.lineTo(vpx, vpy + height)
    canvasContext.stroke()

    canvasContext.restore()
  }

  animate()
})

I took @Phrogz's answer as a basis and made a small library that enables canvas with dragging, zooming and rotating. Here is the example.

var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas')
//assuming that @param draw is a function where you do your main drawing.
var control = new CanvasManipulation(canvas, draw)
control.init()
control.layout()
//now you can drag, zoom and rotate in canvas

You can find more detailed examples and documentation on the project's page

Faster

Using ctx.setTransform gives you more performance than multiple matrix calls ctx.translate, ctx.scale, ctx.translate.

No need for complex transformation inversions as and expensive DOM matrix calls tp converts point between zoomed and screen coordinate systems.

Flexible

Flexibility as you don't need to use ctx.save and ctx.restore if you are rendering content at using different transforms. Returning to the transform with ctx.setTransform rather than the potentially frame rate wreaking ctx.restorecall

Easy to invert the transform and get the world coordinates of a (screen) pixel position and the other way round.

Examples

Using mouse and mouse wheel to zoom in and out at mouse position

An example using this method to scale page content at a point (mouse) via CSS transform CSS Demo at bottom of answer also has a copy of the demo from the next example.

And an example of this method used to scale canvas content at a point using setTransform

How

Given a scale and pixel position you can get the new scale as follow...

const origin = {x:0, y:0};         // canvas origin
var scale = 1;                     // current scale
function scaleAt(x, y, scaleBy) {  // at pixel coords x, y scale by scaleBy
    scale *= scaleBy;
    origin.x = x - (x - origin.x) * scaleBy;
    origin.y = y - (y - origin.y) * scaleBy;
}

To position the canvas and draw content

ctx.setTransform(scale, 0, 0, scale, origin.x, origin.y);
ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0);

To use if you have the mouse coordinates

const zoomBy = 1.1;                    // zoom in amount
scaleAt(mouse.x, mouse.y, zoomBy);     // will zoom in at mouse x, y
scaleAt(mouse.x, mouse.y, 1 / zoomBy); // will zoom out by same amount at mouse x,y

To restore the default transform

ctx.setTransform(1,0,0,1,0,0);

The inversions

To get the coordinates of a point in the zoomed coordinate system and the screen position of a point in the zoomed coordinate system

Screen to world

function toWorld(x, y) {  // convert to world coordinates
    x = (x - origin.x) / scale;
    y = (y - origin.y) / scale;
    return {x, y};
}

World to screen

function toScreen(x, y) {
    x = x * scale + origin.x;
    y = y * scale + origin.y;
    return {x, y};
}
