Zoom and scale display element

[malclocke]

I am wondering if the following is possible, or if it is on the development roadmap?

I would like to display an image zoomed on load, with the canvas scaled to the appropriate width to display the whole image.

So for example, if my fits array is 32x32, I'd like to display it zoomed times 4 on a canvas / webgl element that is 128x128px.

Hi, I've added an example of how to do this in the library's current state. I'll keep this issue open until the functionality is added to the api. Hope this helps!

Thanks Amit, that is perfect!

Hello Amit, the zoom behaviour via mouse wheel follows the ds9 convention (zoom out on mouse wheel "in"). Is it for a specific reason, or is it possible to invert it to follow the behavour of common image applications?

Davide, there is no reason the zoom was inverted. You're right, best to stick with the behavior of other image and mapping applications. The library has been updated.

Thanks!

Thanks to you, I am finally trying to use the webfits library. I profit for one question: how to set up the initial position in the canvas and the initial zoom (for example to fit a little canvas scaling a big image?

Thank you and I hope to contribute soon. Cheers Davide

Davide, for now there is not a simple method to invoke that functionality. For now please see

https://github.com/astrojs/webfits/blob/master/examples/webgl-magnify-image.html

for an example. I'll add that functionality shortly.

I have another question:

what is the best way to draw a circle or an element on the fits?

In the canvas example, adding:

var canvas = d3.select("canvas");
ctx = canvas.node().getContext("2d");
console.log(ctx)
ctx.arc(75, 75, 10, 0, Math.PI*2, true);
ctx.strokeStyle = 'green';
ctx.fillStyle = 'red';
ctx.fill();

at the end of the createVisualization() function returns correcty the circle, but moving the image the circle disappear.

Instead, in the webgl example, adding:

var canvas = d3.select("experimental-webgl");
ctx = ...

or

var canvas = d3.select("webgl");
ctx = ...

produce respectively the error:

 #<WebGLRenderingContext> has no method 'beginPath'

or

Cannot call method 'beginPath' of null

I am sorry for all these questions, but I am almost ready to publish on github some d3.js + astrojs examples

Cheers, Davide

Davide, add another canvas that lies over the FITS image. Draw all annotations on the top canvas, while leaving the bottom one for the FITS image. You will have to keep all transformations (e.g. panning and zooming) in synchronized between the two canvases.

If you call setupControls() on the webfits object, all mouse interactions will no longer work because the annotation canvas does not pass these events to the webfits canvas. You can resolve this by doing something like:

topcanvas.onmousemove = function(e) {
  // Pass the event to the webfits canvas
  webfits.canvas.onmousemove(e);
}

This is a common use case, so if you find a nice way to do this, please let me know. Hope that helps!

hello Amit, here you can find a little gists with my overlay test using d3.js:

the drag behavior works well, but the zoom behavior is bugged. I am trying to fix it and I also asked help on
