Zooming in and out on an image when I only have a touchscreen?

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello all,

I'm setting up an inspection application which will only have a touchscreen. However the user will want to zoom in and out on images. Zooming in is okay - just grab the magnifying lens and click - but with no shift key to hold down I can't see how to zoom out.

 

Anyone got any suggestions?

Maybe keep one button/contol logic and connect it to zoom factor property of image indicator.

-When operator presses button/control you can change the zoom level

Thanks

you can use property node zooming tool 

then you can create bottom for zoom and unzoom by algorithm

For anyone else with this issue, here's what I did: following the advice of the two experts above, I right clicked on the image (in the block diagram) and created a property node. Scrolling to the bottom of the list of properties I found one to zoom-to-fit. Just set that to read and wire a boolean control. Now I tap on the image to zoom in, use scrollbars to move around, and tap the boolean (set to latch) to zoom back out.

 

Thanks for the help guys!
