JavaFX 8 - Zooming Relative to Mouse Pointer
I had the same question here on StackOverflow. The following code is a modified version of the question/answer there.
You can use
- right mouse button = panning
- left mouse button = dragging of the nodes
- scroll wheel = zoom in on mouse cursor location
The relevant part for you is the onScrollEventHandler.

I've had this exact problem, I'll show my (heavily condensed) solution. First create a class that is in charge of the zooming:
public class AnimatedZoomOperator {
private Timeline timeline;
public AnimatedZoomOperator() {
this.timeline = new Timeline(60);
}
public void zoom(Node node, double factor, double x, double y) {
// determine scale
double oldScale = node.getScaleX();
double scale = oldScale * factor;
double f = (scale / oldScale) - 1;
// determine offset that we will have to move the node
Bounds bounds = node.localToScene(node.getBoundsInLocal());
double dx = (x - (bounds.getWidth() / 2 + bounds.getMinX()));
double dy = (y - (bounds.getHeight() / 2 + bounds.getMinY()));
// timeline that scales and moves the node
timeline.getKeyFrames().clear();
timeline.getKeyFrames().addAll(
new KeyFrame(Duration.millis(200), new KeyValue(node.translateXProperty(), node.getTranslateX() - f * dx)),
new KeyFrame(Duration.millis(200), new KeyValue(node.translateYProperty(), node.getTranslateY() - f * dy)),
new KeyFrame(Duration.millis(200), new KeyValue(node.scaleXProperty(), scale)),
new KeyFrame(Duration.millis(200), new KeyValue(node.scaleYProperty(), scale))
);
timeline.play();
}
}
Note that this uses a timeline to animate the zoom. If you don't want this, you can call node.setTranslateX(...), node.setScaleX(...), etc. directly.
Now to use this operator you can do something like this:
// Create panel
StackPane zoomPane = new StackPane();
zoomPane.getChildren().add(new Circle(100, 100, 10));
zoomPane.getChildren().add(new Circle(200, 200, 20));
// Create operator
AnimatedZoomOperator zoomOperator = new AnimatedZoomOperator();
// Listen to scroll events (similarly you could listen to a button click, slider, ...)
zoomPane.setOnScroll(new EventHandler<ScrollEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(ScrollEvent event) {
double zoomFactor = 1.5;
if (event.getDeltaY() <= 0) {
// zoom out
zoomFactor = 1 / zoomFactor;
}
zoomOperator.zoom(zoomPane, zoomFactor, event.getSceneX(), event.getSceneY());
}
});
