Scale a canvas including child rectangles and paths? With Viewbox?

06-16-2009 1:59 PM |

Hi,

I'd like to make a kind of "map" containing child shapes like rectangles and paths
(representing countries in Europe for example) inside a Canvas.  As the browser
window is made bigger and smaller I want all the child shapes in the "map" to
scale proportionally.  Can I do this with a Viewbox from the SL2 Toolkit? 

Is there a better way?

Thanks,
Alex

 just use a ScaleTransform on the parent canvas

I think it will work

also, set height and width on the parent canvas

Hi silverbyte,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I can try that approach, I had seen it mentioned before. 
Apparently that is still considered the "state of the art" / best practice?  

I was hoping it would be as simple as just wrapping my canvas with a Viewbox. 
I tried the SL2 Toolkit Viewbox but got odd results.  I hoped maybe I was just using it
incorrectly, but maybe there is no way to do this with a Viewbox?

Thanks,
Alex
