I have some paths drawn to the screen in wpf. The coordinates being used are quite small so they have been made to fill the screen with a view box. I am now trying to implement pan and zoom functionality. I would like to be able to zoom to wherever the mouse is in relation to the ui (i.e zoomed screen center is equal to mouse coordinates). The current outcome is that the center of the screen when zoomed is not reflective of the exact mouse position on the ui.
If you want to see what is happening… Here is my current solution file.
Or
Heres some code:
View Xaml
<Grid Name="MasterGrid" DataContext="{StaticResource mainWindowViewModel}">
<ScrollViewer HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Visible" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible" Name="VisualisationScroller">
<Viewbox Name="VisualisationBox" Stretch="Fill" Loaded="VisualisationBox_Loaded">
<ItemsControl Name="CustomDrawingElement" ItemsSource="{Binding Trajectories}" Width="{Binding VisualisationWidth}" Height="{Binding VisualisationHeight}">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="data:VisualisedTrajectory">
<Path Data = "{Binding PathData}" Stroke="Red" StrokeThickness="0.001" Fill="Transparent" />
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<Canvas
Background="DarkGray"
IsItemsHost="True">
</Canvas>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsControl.RenderTransform>
<TransformGroup>
<ScaleTransform ScaleX="1" ScaleY="1" />
<TranslateTransform />
</TransformGroup>
</ItemsControl.RenderTransform>
</ItemsControl>
</Viewbox>
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>

Solved it changed the back code for zooming the View to:
If anyone is interested HERE is the finished solution file with panning implemented too.
