image zoom

Hi & thanks in advance for any help,

Can a portion of an image object be "zoomed" to enlarge it?

The goal is to allow the user of a stand alone Windows program to define a rectangle portion of an already displayed image object, and magnify just that portion of the image.

Thanks.

Ken,

Make a group with an image object. Set the lockLoc of the group to true and give the group scrollbars. You probably will want to set the margins of the group to 0. Use a script to change the size of the image while you zoom in and out.

Best,

Mark

The camouflage stack from www.tactilemedia.com looks like it has similar properties as well.
