Zoom image to pixel level
- by zaf
For an art project, one of the things I'll be doing is zooming in on an image to a particular pixel. I've been rubbing my chin and would love some advice on how to proceed.
Here are the input parameters:
Screen:
sw - screen width
sh - screen height
Image:
iw - image width
ih - image height
Pixel:
px - x position of pixel in image
py - y position of pixel in image
Zoom:
zf - zoom factor (0.0 to 1.0)
Background colour:
bc - background colour to use when screen and image aspect ratios are different
Outputs:
The zoomed image (no anti-aliasing)
The screen position/dimensions of the pixel we are zooming to.
When zf is 0 the image must fit the screen with correct aspect ratio.
When zf is 1 the selected pixel fits the screen with correct aspect ratio.
One idea I had was to use something like povray and move the camera towards a big image texture or some library (e.g. pygame) to do the zooming. Anyone think of something more clever with simple pseudo code?
To keep it more simple you can make the image and screen have the same aspect ratio. I can live with that.
I'll update with more info as its required.
