i have a document saved in .ien format (containing 4 layers)
I need to open it and show all layers fitted and centered into the window so the user can see all the objects in the scene perfeclty.


all i am doing is loading the file with
ImageEnView1.LoadFromFileIEN('d:\temp\LookTemplate.ien');


and then calling
ImageEnView1.Fit;


the view component has the centered property set to true, but the whole image does not show centered in the window, it just sets the zoom to show all the objects but does not scroll or move them to the center of the window (see example2.jpg)



here the image is fitted but does not center correctly in the window

i need it to center and fit all the objects in the window just as if i open a simple jpg image and call the fit method (see example1)




here the image is perfectly fit and centered


already tried:
calling Fit, FitHeight, CenterImage, set center property to true, to false
Tried reposition all the layers manually using LayersRepositionAll but does not know how to calculate the exact position of all layers so the center of the group of layers is positioned at the center of the window.

Any more ideas ?

Thank You All.

Hi Fabio

Have you tried using:

ImageEnView1.LayersRepositionAll( IELayer_Pos_HCenter, IELayer_Pos_VCenter );

I tried this. does not work. all the layers move outside of the window if i do this. dont know whats wrong. Also tried this command with center property true and false. I attached a sample project to helkp you identify the issue.

Please take a look at it.

Thank You.

Sorry, there seems to be a bug there.

You can use:

procedure TForm2.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  ALayer : TIELayer;
  i, doMoveX, doMoveY: Integer;
begin
  for i := 0 to img.LayersCount - 1 do
  begin
    ALayer := TIELayer( img.Layers[ I ]);
    if aLayer.Locked = False then
    begin
      doMoveX := IELayer_Pos_HCenter;
      doMoveY := IELayer_Pos_VCenter;

      if doMoveX >= IELayer_Pos_Left then
        aLayer.PosX := doMoveX
      else
        aLayer.PosX := aLayer.PosX + doMoveX;
      if doMoveY >= IELayer_Pos_Top then
        aLayer.PosY := doMoveY
      else
        aLayer.PosY := aLayer.PosY + doMoveY;
    end;
  end;
  img.Update;
end;


However, because layer 0 (background) is not specified, the layers are not fully centered. I will fix for the next release.

Hi Nigel, thank you for the reply. I tryed your code but Unfortunatly the solution did not work, it messed up all the image, by stacking all layers one on top of the other. And still did not center it on the view.

look how the image got messed up.





What i need is the image fit and centered in the window (all layers must mantain their relative position in respect to each other, but the whole image centered in the view)

You said that the background layers is causing trouble, but i also tryed removing the background layer and it still do not position the layers.

Sorry, I may have misunderstood your requirement. Do you mean centered in the view, but not overlapping at all?

There is no automated way to handle that. You should iterate through the layers as above and calculate a better position (e.g. if there are <=4 objects, you could position the first to the left and above center, the second to the right and above center, etc...)

Hi, sorry if i can't be clear enough, maybe my english is worse than i thought...

In fact, its very simple what i want. Simply what i want is to center and fit the picture that is composed by all layers. Center and fit the whole image, not individual layers. So all layers must maintain their relative position in respect to each other, but the whole image be centered and fit.

Another way to look at this is: imagine if i merge all layers together and then center and fit the result image. Thats what i want without having to merge the layers.





Thank You.

Sorry, the issue is not one of your English, which is very good, but rather that I tend to skim read.

The difficulty here is that ImageEnView positioning is relative to the background layer (layer 0). In your case, even though the background layer is not used it is affecting the positioning of your layers. There is not an automated way to position layers in view without affecting their relative positions. Let me consider this overnight, and see if I can think of a solution.

Hi

So in the next release, you can use the MaintainRelativePos of the TImageEnView.LayersRepositionAll method to ensure that layers maintain their relative position:

https://www.imageen.com/help/TImageEnView.LayersRepositionAll.html

In the meantime, you can use this code.

var
  layersRect: TIERectangle;
  hCtr, vCtr: Integer;
begin
  ImageEnView1.Center := True;
  ImageEnView1.Layers[0].Locked := True;

  // Get position of all layers
  layersRect := ImageEnView1.LayersRect( False, True );

  hCtr := layersRect.x + layersRect.Width div 2;
  vCtr := layersRect.y + layersRect.Height div 2;

  // Ensure Layer 0 is not moved
  ImageEnView1.Layers[0].Locked := True;

  // Move layers so center of all will be at center of background image
  ImageEnView1.LayersRepositionAll( -hCtr + ImageEnView1.Layers[0].PosX + ImageEnView1.Layers[0].Width div 2,
                                    -vCtr + ImageEnView1.Layers[0].PosY + ImageEnView1.Layers[0].Height div 2 );
end;
