[Gtk-sharp-list] Best way to build a zoom effect?

[Crucius, Wesley]

Here's pretty much everything you'll need... Enjoy!

<method variables>   
   private System.Xml.XmlDocument _xmlDoc;

<initialization>
   _xmlDoc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
   _xmlDoc.Load(SVGFileName);
	 
<Called from the SizeAllocated event for the Gtk.ScrolledWin that contains the passed in Gtk.EventBox>
   private void RenderSVG(ref System.Xml.XmlDocument xmlDoc, ref Gtk.EventBox eventBox)
   {      
    XmlNode nodeElem;

    int width, height;
    Gdk.Pixmap pixmap, pixmap_mask;
    Gdk.Pixbuf pixbuf;

      // get the "available" width and height    
      width = eventBox.Allocation.Width;
      height = eventBox.Allocation.Height;

      try
      {
         nodeElem = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("//*[@id='svgRoot']");  // xpath search for the root element by id
         nodeElem.Attributes.GetNamedItem("width").Value = width.ToString();
         nodeElem.Attributes.GetNamedItem("height").Value = height.ToString();
       }
       catch(Exception ex)
       {
          Console.WriteLine("Error updating SVG size properties: ");
          Console.WriteLine("  " + ex.Message );
       }

      // render the SVG into a pixbuf      
      System.IO.MemoryStream streamSVG = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
      xmlDoc.Save(streamSVG);  // put the XML doc in a Stream
      streamSVG.Position = 0;     // reset the stream once written, this is IMPORTANT!               

      pixbuf = new Gdk.Pixbuf(streamSVG);
      pixbuf.RenderPixmapAndMask(out pixmap, out pixmap_mask, 0 );
      eventBox.GdkWindow.SetBackPixmap( pixmap, false );

   }

Thanks. I'll try that. And I guess I still need to modify the picture
size every x milliseconds.

I'm not familiar with the XML library of Mon, and I can't find the "XML
DOM doc". I guess it should be in the class System.XML, but I don't know
in which class.


Thank you
Julien
