With the viewport concept, scrolling can be handled as moving the viewport, while zooming in and out can be handled as changing the viewport size.
ViewPortManager is a utility class for handling viewports. It manages mapping of the mouse and display pixel coordinates to viewport coordinates, and supports various user interface constraints that limits how the viewport may be changed.
Viewport coordinates are represented as fractions of the width or height of the underlying surface. For example, the width of a viewport is represented as a fraction of the width of the underlying surface, so it must be between 0 to 1. A value of 0.1 means the viewport width is 10% of the underlying surface width.
