Navigating in an image

Recommended Posts

Three main features are implemented to navigate in an image:

  • Zoom in/out with the mouse wheel
  • Click a point to zoom in/out around this point
  • Drag the image with the mouse to move it in the picture control
To zoom in/out the mouse pointer must be located over the picture control.

10 zoom levels are defined with the following zoom factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32. A zoom factor of e.g. 24 means, that a pixel in the source image is shown as a 24x24 square in the picture control.

When you drag the image with the mouse and then zoom in/out, you'll zoom in/out around the point in the middle of the picture control.

The picture shows the GUI and an image of a small forest. The image is zoomed in to zoom factor 3. A pixel in the source image is shown as a 3x3 square in the picture control.

image1_zps81634e53.png

To zoom in/out around one of the two lakes, just click in the middle of the lake and zoom in/out, or drag the lake to the middle of the picture control and zoom in/out.

Keyboard actions

  • Page Up/Down to zoom in/out
  • Arrow keys to move the image a pixel at a time
  • Shift plus arrow keys to move the image a page at a time
To use the keyboard, the mouse pointer must be located over the picture control.

Menu bar

The menu bar is not implemented in this version.

Tab control

The purpose of the tab control is to be able to switch between more images. If you click a tab item, the image in the picture control will be replaced with the image in the tab item.

When you switch from one image to another, the image settings are stored and restored.

You can change the order of the images by dragging the tab items to the right or left.

Right (secondary) click a tab item to get a context menu for the image. Among other things, you can choose colors for the frame and grid (see below) that best fits respectively a bright and dark image. By default colors are set to fit a bright image.

Toolbars

image2_zps9ec7dc84.png

The left group is the File toolbar.

  • 1) New image
  • 2) Open image
  • 3) Save image
  • 4) Close image
The right group is the View toolbar.
  • 5) View mode
  • 6) Center middle point
  • 7) Frame is on/off
  • 8) Grid is on/off
Button 1, 3 and 5 are not implemented in this version.

You can right (secondary) click button 6, 7, and 8.

Note that all toolbar buttons are provided with tooltips.

More details

File toolbar

  • 2) Open image

    You can open multiple images at once.

    An image can be opened several times.

View toolbar
  • 5) View mode

    In this version there is only one mode: View mode. The button is always shown in pressed state. Except for that, there is not implemented any functionality for this button.

  • 6) Center middle point

    When you click the button, the middle of the source image will be positioned at the middle of the picture control. Zoom in/out will be around the middle point. This is the default when you open a new image.

    Right (secondary) click to center the corners (zoom in/out around the corners) of the source image.

  • 7) Frame is on/off

    If Frame is on and the image is smaller than the picture control, a frame is drawn around the image. This is especially useful for transparent images.

    Right (secondary) click to set the color of the frame.

  • 8) Grid is on/off

    If Grid is on, a grid is drawn for the five highest zoom factors (8, 12, 16, 24, 32). If the grid is drawn, the frame is not drawn.

    Right (secondary) click to set the color of the grid. Grid and frame are always set to the same color and drawn with the same color.

Status bar

The status bar is not used in this version.

Resize GUI

The initial size of the picture control is 6 * 96 pixels for both width and height. 96 is the smallest number that can be divided by all 10 zoom factors (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32) without giving a residue. This means, that there is always space for a whole number of pixels in the picture control. This makes all calculations much simpler. E.g. when the image is zoomed in/out, when the image is moved and when the grid is drawn.

The GUI and the picture control are resized in steps of 96 pixels. When the picture control is resized, the number of pixels is always increased or decreased with a whole number.

Transparent images

For a transparent image that really contains transparent pixels, it's necessary to clear the image control each time it's updated. This provides some flicker, especially when the image is moved.

For a non-transparent image, it's enough to clear the picture control when the image is zoomed out, and the image is smaller than the picture control. This makes navigation to work much smoother.

GIF- and PNG-images support transparency. This doesn't necessarily mean, that the images contain any transparent pixels. To verify that there are transparent pixels, you have to investigate every single pixel, and calculate if it's transparent or not. The investigation can stop, when you find the first transparent pixel, or at the end of the image. This can be time consuming. It's not done in this version.

Because of the issue with the flicker, a GIF- or PNG-image is by default set to be non-transparent.

If you open a GIF- or PNG-image you have to verify visually, if there are any transparent pixels. If this is the case, then right (secondary) click the tab item, and set the Transparent flag.

Merlin.gif and Torus.png (from the AutoIt installation), which are included as test images, does contain transparent pixels. For these images, the Transparent flag is set in the inifile. You can turn off the flag, to see what happens, if it's not set.

There is an issue with transparent images. If the picture control only contains pixels, that exactly matches the transparent color, which is set in pixel 0x0 in the source image, the picture control gets black.

Settings

In this version it's not possible to set and save settings. E.g. a setting to open an image automatically, when the program starts up. The five images that opens automatically, are typed directly into the inifile.

This version

This version is implemented for use in Non-rectangular selections in an image. Only functionality, that's needed in this example, is coded.

The code is not cleaned up according to double defined local variables or unused parameters in function calls (primary functions to handle windows messages). This means a lot of warnings if you run Au3Check.

Zipfile

The top level is the folder "Image Editor". It contains two subfolders: "1) Navigating in an image" and images. images is five test images. "1) Navigating in an image" contains source and resource files:

  • Navigating.au3 - run this script
  • includesVariables.au3 - common global variables
  • includesNavigatingImage.au3 - contains most of the calculations
  • includesDrawFunctions.au3 - draw image and graphics on top of image
  • includesTabCtrlFunctions.au3 - functions for the tab control
  • includesToolbarFunctions.au3 - functions for the toolbar
  • includestoolsFileToolbar.au3 - code for buttons in File toolbar
  • includestoolsViewToolbar.au3 - code for buttons in View toolbar
  • includesModernMenuRaw.au3 - copied from this thread by Holger
  • icons - icon files
Tested with AutoIt 3.3.10 on Windows 7 32/64 bit and Windows XP 32 bit.

I can only repeat what I wrote in your other related post.

 

Man, this is impressive. I'm gobsmacked! :blink:

Thanks for sharing, etc. :D

You can add a feature to add a checkerboard background for transparent images to see if the image has transparency.

Well done!  :thumbsup:

Brilliant. Thank you. I feared that I had to use ImageMagick or similar.

I can see you have created a texture. When a new image is opened, the bitmap is filled out with the texture, and the image is drawn on top of the texture.

This seems to solve several issues: It's not necessary to erase the picture control every time the image is redrawn. The checkerboard overwrites the non-transparent pixels. This means that moving the image with the mouse is working much smoother with much lesser flicker.

The issue with a black picture when the picture control only contains completely transparent pixels seems olso to be fixed. The checkerboard is shown instead of the black picture.

When a selection is copy/pasted (Non-rectangular selections in an image), it can be pasted on top a checkerboard background instead of a white/red/green background.

It seems as if I have to update both examples.

Thanks for the code, but please, can you make a lot easier version of this for the beginners. Maybe a file open dialog, where you can choose a picture and than, when the image is shown in the gui, only the possibility to zoom with the mouse wheel and to drag the image. Without the tabs, the toolbar, the menu etc.

I try to understand it and to make it useable for my own project, but it's hard for me.

I'll make a version with a smaller amount of code. You'll probably have to wait for the weekend.

Here is a version without the menu, toolbar, tab control and status bar. You can zoom image, move image and resize GUI. images\Image.bmp is opened on startup.

Add a new post if you have more questions.

Regards Lars.

I got a cold this weekend and cant look deeper at the code. But my interest moved me out of the bed.  Here are my first impressions.

You met my wish and now  I should be able to use it for my project. Thanks a lot for your help!

There's a little bit strange behaviour. But this can be observed also in the bigger version and it's no problem for me: Its when you load heavier images, suchlike from a digicam. If you drag it ,for example, from left to right and drop it at the end position and then move your cursor fast back to the left, the image moves also a little bit to the left, although it was dropped. But I thinks thats only a problem on slower pc's, like my celeron laptop.

One question: If i load a bigger image from didigcam, i cant zoom out so far, that I see the whole image. Can you explain, how to adjust the zoom levels. 

I'm writing on a front end for imagemagick, with the possibility to insert variables in the imagemagick code. For earch var a configurable sliders appears and the changes of the image can be seen directly in the gui. If you are interested, I could tell you, when I present a first version.  Thanks again.

I have not been able to reproduce this behaviour. I have tested with a 1600x1200 pixels bmp image. You can do some tests with the ImageMove function in the middle of NavigatingImage.au3. I tend to believe that the problem is related to AutoIt as an interpreted language. As all interpreted languages, it's a little bit slow at loops compared to compiled languages. You see it clearly if you move the image quickly back and forth several times without releasing the mouse. The picture has trouble keeping up with the mouse.

The zoom problem was easy. I have updated the zoom function to include 5 more levels: 1/8, 1/6, 1/4, 1/3 and 1/2. The new zoom function is much better than the old one. At some time I'll update the original code. I have just made a quick test. A few issues can not be excluded.

I would like to hear about your imagemagick front end. Is this something you are coding in AutoIt?

Just saw your new zoom function. Very good. 

Yes, the front end is coded in Autoit. There is the possibility to insert imagemagick commands in an edit field. There you can insert the variables. If you change a slider the variable is replaced with the slider value. A batch file will be created and the image will be processed with imagemagick. Maybe in a month I have a first version. Thanks for your interest.
