ChartDirector 7.1 (C++ Edition)

XY Zooming and Scrolling (MFC)




NOTE: This section describes XY Zooming and Scrolling for MFC only. For Qt, please refer to XY Zooming and Scrolling (Qt).

This example demonstrates zooming and scrolling in both horizontal and vertical directions. In addition to using mouse click and drag, this example demonstrates using a slider, the mouse wheel and a CViewPortControl to control scrolling and zooming. This example also includes a crosshair track cursor with dynamic labels on the x-axis and y-axis showing the mouse cursor position, and an image map for data point tooltips. A save button is included to save the chart in PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, SVG or PDF.

The main source code listing of this sample program is included at the end of this section. The code consists of the following main parts:
