Zooming in an NSView

I have an NSView in which the user can draw circles. These circles are stored as an array of NSBezierPaths, and in drawRect:, I loop through the array and call -stroke on each of the paths. How do I add a button 开发者_Python百科to zoom in and out the NSView? Just change the bounds of the view?

Thanks.

Send your view a scaleUnitSquareToSize: message.

You might also find this informative:

The code in that document lets you add a "scale" property to a view.

The above answers didn't work for my scenario but led me to a solution.

The updated link to @Peter's answer was helpful: scaleUnitSquareToSize

I have found two soultions for zooming:

1. Cropping the bounds manually
2. Scalling the bounds with scaleUnitSquareToSize

I have created a small test project. Both solutions can be found on my GitHub repo : BoundsAndFramesCroppingAndScalling

To understand bounds vs frames read this SO article: difference-between-the-frame-and-the-bounds.

Swift scalling code:

let scaleSize = NSSize(width: 0.5, height: 0.5)
// 0.5 - Half the size
// 1.0 - No calling
// 2.0 - double the size , ... etc
myView?.scaleUnitSquare(to: scaleSize)
myView?.needsDisplay = true
