Properties

alignment INTEGER
One of the following ta::XXX constants:
   ta::Left
   ta::Center 
   ta::Right

Default value: ta::Left

image OBJECT

Methods

screen2point X, Y, [ X, Y, ... ]
Performs translation of integer pairs integers as (X,Y)-points from widget coordinates to pixel offset in image coordinates. Takes in account zoom level, image alignments, and offsets. Returns array of same length as the input.

Useful for determining correspondence, for example, of a mouse event to a image point.

The reverse function is point2screen.

point2screen X, Y, [ X, Y, ... ]
Performs translation of integer pairs as (X,Y)-points from image pixel offset to widget image coordinates. Takes in account zoom level, image alignments, and offsets. Returns array of same length as the input.

Useful for determining a screen location of an image point.

The reverse function is screen2point.
