How to zoom an image in&out in C#?
c#, image, picturebox, resize
Solution
One solution is:
- Create new image of the desired size (for example 200% or 50% of original image size)
- Draw original image to new image using Graphics.DrawImage(Image, Rectangle);, which draws the given image to the new image at the given position with the given size
- Set new image as source for the `PictureBox`
Another way is to simple create a new bitmap instance like that:
Size newSize = new Size((int)(originalBitmap.Width * zoomFactor), (int)(originalBitmap.Height * zoomFactor));
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(originalBitmap, newSize);
Problem
I want to implement zoom for an image. I don't want to resize the PictureBox, but the image itself. How do I do this?
