Translate a WPF canvas at high scale factors isn&#

问题:

Imagine you have a canvas that you want to scale to a very high value and then allow "panning."

A good example is a geographic tool that needs to allow panning with "zoom" levels from the extent of the whole earth down to the extent of a few meters.

I've found that if you are scaled in to more than, say 500,000, translating becomes very erratic, but ONLY if you are viewing far from the canvas's 0,0 origin!

I've tried to translate using the RenderTransform of the canvas AND I've tried it by literally moving anothercanvas on top of the scaled canvas. I've also seen the same issue in someone else's sample app online.

The following example code provides for panning (click and drag) at two different zoom locations. If you implement the code, you can hit one button to zoom in to 0,0 where you will find nice, smooth mouse panning. Then use the other button to zoom in to 200, 200 and smooth panning is no more!

Any idea why this is or how one could fix it?

XAML for sample:

    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

    <Grid PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown="Grid_PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown" MouseMove="Grid_MouseMove">
        <Canvas Name="canvas1"></Canvas>
        <Button Height="31" 
                Name="button1" 
                Click="button1_Click" 
                Margin="12,12,0,0" 
                VerticalAlignment="Top" 
                HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="270">
            Zoom WAY in to 0,0 and get smooth panning
        </Button>
        <Button Height="31" 
                Name="button2" 
                Click="button2_Click" 
                Margin="12,49,0,0" 
                VerticalAlignment="Top" 
                HorizontalAlignment="Left" 
                Width="270">
            Zoom WAY in to 200, 200 -- NO smooth panning

This is caused by Canvas itself. It is not well perfomed for more advanced rendering. Insted you need to use a Visual class. It's a bit harder yet you gain the advantage of low level rendering.

Dragging system need to be rewrite. The idea is simple yet implementation is a bit complicated.
