Paint.NET :: Zoom In And Out Of Graphics Place Little Icons On Top?

Feb 3, 2012

I was searching for capabilities to zoom in and out on a graphic and my search led me here. I just want to find out is Paint.Net is a library that can be useful to achive what I want. Here is a brief description of the task:

1. I need to develop a small application designated to conduct a survey of all the workstations in a company. The surveys will be conducted on tablets. Because our expertise is in .NET platform, we need to implement the application for Windows-based tablets;

2. I start with a bunch of floor plans (CAD drawings that can be formated in .bmp, .jpeg, .tiff or any other graphical format you can possibly think off;

3. As the surveyor walks around the offices, following the floor plan that was selected on the tablet, he/she needs to click on the floor plan and through a small form that pops-up, indicate whether the workstation/office that is surveyed was empty or occupied and if it was occupied, whether the person was on the phone, on the computer or in a collaboration. Simple checkboxes.

4. When a workstation was surveyed, I need to place a flag or a letter on top of the floor plan, just to indicate the location as being surveyed (floor plans can have up to 250 workstations and offices, so it's easy to miss some).

5. Because the floor plans tend to be huge, fitting all of the graphic file on the screen of a tablet may render the plan unreadable. So I need to build zoom in , zoom out capabilities. Pinch zoom in/zoom out, the iPad way, would be fantastic, but I need to find out if the tablet (Samsung or HP) supports that. Meanwhile, I can add scroll bars to move different areas of the plan into view and a slide control to zoom in and out.

My questions:

- Does the Paint.NET library have any functionality to allow me to zoom in and out of a graphic?

- Can I add icons (or letters - 'C' for on the computer, 'T' for on the phone, 'X' for empty) on top of the floor plan? I need to place them at the location of a click on the plan (need to get coordinates for that) but also need to memorize them so that if a certain area is taken out of the view and then brought back into view, I need to redraw all the icons/letters so that the surveyor doesn't survey the area again.

- Finally, at the end of the survey I need to print the entire floor plan and add all the icons (or letters) on top of the plan, to give the manager an overview of a snap-shot of the floor at a certain time of the day.

Can I do all these things with Paint.NET?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 :: Graphics And Text Disappear After Zoom In Or Out Quickly

Sep 5, 2009

Often whatever I'm working on in X4 disappears off the document page when I zoom in or out. It's still there (I can see it in the print preview)and I can print it, but I can't see it no matter what view (e.g., normal, draft, etc.) I select. If I select the entire page I can see the graphic and text handles, but nothing else. The only way I can see my work again is to save it, close the program, and then re-open the file. My computer is a Dell Precision Work Station T3400 running Vista Ultimate with an Intel Core2 Quad CPU, 4GB RAM, and my graphics card is an NVIDIA Quadro FX 570 256MB. All my software and drivers are up to date. The problem occurs no matter what screen resolution or refresh rate I'm using.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Extra Large Icons In Explorer

Dec 4, 2012

I installed X6 tonight and I'm now having trouble with my Extra Large Icons in Windows Explorer.  When I switch to extra large icons the first few show up correctly (CDR, JPG, GIF, etc.) but most of the rest of the GIFs and JPGs show as Corel icons.  I can refresh, reload, and they still stay Corel icons.  The only way to get the preview thumbnails again is to switch back to large or medium icons and then refresh.  But if I switch back to extra large icons I get the same thing again.  What's particularly odd is that all the Corel file formats preview correctly as extra large icons, but only a few of the GIFs and JPGs do.  I have already removed and reinstalled X6 and the Corel Windows Shell Extension.

If you run the Icon size slider up, the preview thumbnails for the GIFs and JPGs change to Corel Photopaint icons as soon as you go above large icon size.

I have Win7 Pro running on an Intel i7-3820 and have updated Corel to the X6.2.

Also, I do not have any icon viewer applications installed. 

I browsed around a bit and didn't see this particular problem listed.

Paint Shop Pro :: X5 Button Icons Wrong?

Dec 18, 2012

I just installed PSP X5 Ultimate (full install). After it completed it installed an update. All appeared to go fine. I opened the program and went to EDIT. I am familiar with PSP as I have used a number versions up to X2. The first thing I tried to do was crop a photo. The crop tool buttons are not correct. The "Apply", "Crop as new image" and so on under the crop area window are not correct. I see a square of colors. I see the same thing on the main tool bar for the "Copy Special" function and the "Share" button. There could be more that I have not discovered yet. I rebooted and tried again, but get the same thing. Also, the button icons look different each time I load.

Paint Shop Pro :: X5 Button Icons Are Wrong?

Jun 4, 2013

Shortly after I loaded PSP X5 on my computer, the picture icons on the buttons in the docking workspace changed and I don't know why. These are the icons at the top and bottom of the Docking area where I work with Layers and also have several other items docked.

I am using PSP X5 version 15.2.0.12

Across the top are the icons for " Edit Selection, Show/Hide Layer effects, Link/Unlink, Lock/Unlock, and Layer Styles".

Paint.NET :: Simple Way To Smooth Round Icons?

May 4, 2013

Searching for how to simply, quickly smooth round edges, I learned a lot of other things I'd been wondering how to do in PDN.  But I didn't find a simple way to smooth round edges of non professional grade (not art) round outer edges.  Say, for a Windows icon.
 
Even drawing the circle on a 32 x 32 background, when saved as png then opened in Greenfish Icon Editor & converted to ICO, the real icon (say on desktop) is still a bit jagged in places.  The points at 0, 90, 180, 270 deg are obviously flattened & rest of circumference is a bit jagged (not terrible, but...).
 
I tried several tools to smooth edges a bit, but of course pixels are square...  Read numerous posts - like [URL].....

This WAY overkill for what I'm doing - right now.  Useful for later.  All I want is circles or rounded corners on simple objects w/o spending much time - not for this type stuff.  I learned good techniques useful for higher quality work.
 
PDN doesn't seem to have a simple, quicker way to half decently smooth circles / corners.  Everything I tried just followed the square pixel edges or is quite tedious.  Greenfish has some pretty decent tools - for making icons.  But, smoothing rounded edges for something in the 32 px wide range is still pretty time consuming.  Needs an algorithm to smooth circumferences.

Paint.NET :: Fade Away From Selection For Pretty Icons

Aug 16, 2012

I am trying to make pretty icons. These are non regular shapes.

Simple case: I have a red circle

I want to select a band say 6 pixels thick all the way around the circle

Now i need to fade from the inner edge of the selection to the outer edge so that completely transparent

I am left with a red circle that fades out perfectly and will sit over any background.

Firstly how do i make such a selection? effectively what i want to do is select my shape and then make a buffer of it?

Secondly how do i do the fade part?

If see the symbols that get installed by google earth (or any other nice non square/circle symbols) you will know what im trying to achieve.

I can do these kind of fades quite easily for whole images or with gradients for regular shapes but for something like the shape of a person or car it gets more difficult!

Paint.NET :: Adjustments And Effects Menus Icons

Feb 28, 2011

Where I can get copies of the plugin icons used for the individual Adjustments/Effects in the Adjustments and Effects menus ?

I would like to use the icons on my own collected plugin help files as a mnemonic device to keep my help files organized. (e.g. Is this Outline Selection or Object ? BoltBait, pyrochild, or Aziz ?)

I tried using IcoFX to extract the icons from the .dll and .exe files in Paint.Net installed on my computer, but I only found 3 icons: the main Paint.Net icon and 2 other icons that seemed unrelated to the plugins menus.

Paint Shop Pro :: X6 Print Layout Icons Not Normal

In my version of X6 32-bit, there is a problem with the icons in Print Layout, they're not the normal icons, but one's used when tying as script to an icon.

I have re-set X6, using the Shift key method, but the problem is still there. I can use the menus and print, but those icons don't belong there.

Paint Shop Pro :: Showing Icons In Drop Down Menus?

Dec 19, 2011

I am sure i saw that somewhere but how do i get the icons to show back instead of the bare text list of the drop down menus? In the old versions, it was easier to find my way around if i had to change version and the list might not have been in the same order, or if i was making a tutorial and someone had a PSP in a different language; i could just display the icon instead of the name for the other person to be able to identify which tool i was talking about. But in later versions, they are gone. How do i get them back?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Why Don't Custom 16x16 Icons Display Correctly For Toolbars

I created a couple of icons with Greenfish Icon Editor, which works reliably for me, to assign to macros. They were saved as 16 x 16 32-bit icons. But when I try to assign them, they appear larger and I can't fit them into the space allotted for an icon; in other words, they get clipped.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Smooth Zoom With Z Down?

Jun 11, 2011

In PS, if you hold the Z key and move the mouse/stylus left/right, it smoothly zooms in by small increments, and the zooming is centered on where your mouse is.

I know some will say that Draw shouldn't try to be PS or Illustrator, but this type of functionality is really nice, and it would be great to have something similar.

I have A and D mapped to zoom in/out but it seems like big zoom jumps and it's a little finicky to get the stuff on the screen you want to see at a high enough zoom level without having to use zoom tool and draw a box.  To get, the positioning, I have pan once on S key, but getting a good zoom level is still a bit finicky.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Unable To Zoom With Wheel

For some reason, I can't use the wheel to zoom in or out. Just doesn't work. The drivers are installed, and the wheel works fine in all other applications, but absolutely refuses to cooperate in CorelDraw X6.2 (had this issue since CorelDraw 6).
