How to enable Pan and Zoom in a QGraphicsView
I am using python and Qt Designer to implement loading tiff images and to enable Pan and Zoom on some mouse event (wheel - zoom, press wheel - pan).
I was looking into some options and classes that can work with images etc, and so far I have found:
QGraphicsScene, QImage, QGraphicsView
I have three classes (just testing)
-
ViewerDemo which have QGraphicsView element:
"""description of class""" # Form implementation generated from reading ui file 'GraphicsViewdemo.ui' try: _fromUtf8 = QtCore.QString.fromUtf8 except AttributeError: def _fromUtf8(s): return s class Ui_Dialog(object): def setupUi(self, Dialog): Dialog.setObjectName(("Dialog")) Dialog.resize(500, 500) self.graphicsView = QtGui.QGraphicsView(Dialog) self.graphicsView.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(0, 0, 500, 500)) self.graphicsView.setObjectName(("graphicsView")) self.retranslateUi(Dialog) QtCore.QMetaObject.connectSlotsByName(Dialog) def retranslateUi(self, Dialog): Dialog.setWindowTitle(QtGui.QApplication.translate("Dialog", "Dialog", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8)) -
MyForm class, that is QDialog, where I call class ViewerDemo, loading Image, and put image into QGraphicsView
import sys from ViewerDemo import * from PyQt4 import QtGui class MyForm(QtGui.QDialog): def __init__(self, url, parent=None): QtGui.QWidget.__init__(self, parent) self.ui = Ui_Dialog() self.ui.setupUi(self) self.scene = QtGui.QGraphicsScene(self) self.image = QtGui.QImage(url) pixmap= QtGui.QPixmap.fromImage(self.image) item=QtGui.QGraphicsPixmapItem(pixmap) self.scene.addItem(item) self.ui.graphicsView.setScene(self.scene) self.scale = 1 QtCore.QObject.connect(self.scene, QtCore.SIGNAL('mousePressEvent()'),self.mousePressEvent) def mousePressEvent(self, event): print ('PRESSED : ',event.pos())
(3) is just where the application is executing:
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore
import sys
from MyForm import MyForm
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
url = "D:/probaTiff"
myapp = MyForm(url)
myapp.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
I found how to do something on mouse-click (left and wheel click), to print pixel coordinates (I will need that to get the coordinates in the Coordinate System of the picture WGS84, for example).
What I need more, is how to zoom picture (wheel or double click, whatever) and to pan picture (holding left mouse click or holding wheel).
Or, is there some better Qt classes for doing this, and some better way Can you help me please?
This is what I have so far with this code
This is not too difficult to do using the built in capabilities of QGraphicsView.
The demo script below has left-button panning and wheel zoom (including anchoring to the current cursor position). The fitInView method has been reimplemented because the built in version adds a weird fixed margin that can't be removed.

It is possible to open TIFF files up to several gigabytes with ordinary PIL (pillow) library. It is not quite easy, but it works.
You could see the example here, second example after bold EDIT string could open, move and zoom TIFF files.
