The ZoomPanel control can add animated zooming and panning to any WPF application. With the new version many new features were added to make it the ultimate Zoom Panel control for every zooming scenario.
The following video shows how easy is to add professional zooming and panning to a sample drawing application.
Here is the complete list of new features:
- Added IScrollInfo support - possibility to use ZoomPanel inside ScrollViewer.
- Added posibility to limit the zoom area with ViewboxLimits, ViewboxMinSize and IsViewboxLimited properties.
- When animating images the scale quality is lowered to increase the frame rate.
- Added support for custom or dynamic zoom content - for example for showing maps - RegisterCustomContentProvider and UnregisterCustomContentProvider.
- Added a new ZoomPanel.SetViewboxNow method - the value is of Viewbox is immediately changed regardless of IsAnimated property.
- Added a new ZoomPanel.ResetNow method - immediate reset of viewbox.
- Added ResetToLimits and ResetToLimitsNow methods.
- Added PreviewViewboxChangedEvent and ViewboxChangedEvent - in PreviewViewboxChangedEvent subscriber can prevent or change the changed Viewbox.
- Added IsResetToLimits to ZoomController - if true the reset button on ZoomController resets the ZoomPanel to limits.
The samples that come with ZoomPanel have also been greatly improved. They demonstrate all the aspects of the controls and classes available with the library.
To make the use of the ZoomPanel even simpler the package also includes a detailed help file.
