Feature Request: Powerlaw Scaling

[Clint Singer]

Hi,

I thought I would put this out as a feature request.  I would love to see built in support for powerlaw scaling in the layers so that items on the map can scale relative to their zoom ranges.  I am currently using a custom layer that supports this feature but I would expect that once you have support spring animations on all of the layers then my layer won't be so appropriate.  The only reason I have this custom layer is to support powerlaw scaling.

I am currently using the following but of course a more configurable version would be desirable.

 

double scale = Math.Pow(0.05 * (this.MapControl.ZoomLevel + 1), 2) + 0.01;

if (scale > 1) // Max scaling
{
    scale = 1;
}
else if (scale < 0.125) // Min scaling
{
    scale = 0.125;
}

// Set the transform origin to the center of the object.
ScaleTransform transform = new ScaleTransform();
transform.ScaleX = scale;
transform.ScaleY = scale;
container.RenderTransformOrigin = new Point(0.5, 0.5);
container.RenderTransform = transform;

Cheers,
Clint

Hello Clint Singer,

We have a similar functionality in our RadMap's "To Do" list already. We will do our best to make it available with the 2010.Q1 release.

All the best,
