I'm building a simple image editor using FabricJS. I can do almost anything I need, the problem comes implementing a zoom feature. As far as I've understood, FabricJS hasn't anything built-it, so that I'm trying to do it by myself.
I've put 2 buttons on the page "Zoom in" and "Zoom out", on click they activate a jQuery function, respectively
$("#zoomin").click(function() {
$("#canvas").width(
$("#canvas").width() * 1.25
);
$("#canvas").height(
$("#canvas").height() * 1.25
);
});
and
$("#zoomout").click(function() {
$("#canvas").width(
$("#canvas").width() * 0.8
);
$("#canvas").height(
$("#canvas").height() * 0.8
);
});
Where #canvas is the id of the div which contains the canvas. This code works properly, it actually zooms in and out, but that causes a problem when I want to grab and move around the objects on the canvas, the snap area is not where the object is visible, when I zoom in, the snap area results to be moved to top-left of the visible object, when I zoom out it results to be moved to the bottom-right.
To explain, this is what happens after a zoom out
Is there a way to make the snap area consistent with the position of the shown object?
Is there a better way to implement the zooming function?
