I have the following variables:
- Point of interest which is the position(x,y) in pixels of the place to focus.
- Screen width,height which are the dimensions of the window.
- Zoom level which sets the zoom level of the camera.
And this is the code I have so far.
void Zoom(int pointOfInterestX,int pointOfInterstY,int screenWidth,
int screenHeight,int zoomLevel)
{
glTranslatef( (pointOfInterestX/2 - screenWidth/2), (pointOfInterestY/2 - screenHeight/2),0);
glScalef(zoomLevel,zoomLevel,zoomLevel);
}
And I want to do zoom in/out but keep the point of interest in the middle of the screen. but so far all of my attempts have failed and I would like to ask for some help.
