How to create a paper.js Path.Circle that can be scaled/translated with affine matrix, but keep circle radius...












0















I have a paper.js layer where users can draw different paths (circles, line, etc). This layer can be panned or zoomed using mouse scrolling or dragging. I use affine matrix transformation to zoom/pan paths in this layer. This works rather well.



What i'm looking for is to create a circle (Path.Circle object) that can be panned and zoomed using matrix, just its radius has to be always fixed (5px for example). So basically matrix transformation needs to be applied only to position of circle, but not to outline of it.



Below is sample of a circle with radius 20px transformedPath, that is zoomed to 2x. Questions is how to keep radius of circle transformedPath fixed (radius = 20px), while applying the matrix transformation.



var transformedPath = new paper.Path.Circle(100,100,20);

transformedPath.strokeColor = 'black';

paper.project.activeLayer.matrix = new paper.Matrix(
2, 0,
0, 2,
0, 0
);




UPDATE. Here's a more general sketch (code below) that is based on solution suggested by sasensi. In this sample blue circle radius stays fixed (this is correct), but problem is that blue circle also stays on the same place instead.
enter image description here



The desired outcome is that both circles move to new position, but blue circle radius stays fixed.



// draw a normal circle
var normalCircle = new Path.Circle({
center: new Point(100,100),
radius: 50,
fillColor: 'orange',
});

// draw another circle that will have scale transformation reversed
var notScalingCircle = new Path.Circle({
center: new Point(100,100),
radius: 30,
fillColor: 'blue',
});

// draw instructions
new PointText({
content: 'press mouse button down to zoom in and see that blue circle size does not change',
point: view.center + [0, -80],
justification: 'center'
});

function transformLayer(matrix) {
// scale layer
// project.activeLayer.applyMatrix = false;
project.activeLayer.matrix = matrix;

// scale item with inverted amount to make it display like if it was not scaled with the layer
notScalingCircle.matrix = matrix.clone().invert();
}

var matrix = new paper.Matrix(
2,0,
0,1.5,
50,30
);

// on mouse down...
function onMouseDown() {
// ...scale up
transformLayer(matrix);
}

// on mouse up...
function onMouseUp() {
// ...scale down
transformLayer(matrix.clone().invert());
}

          I think that the best way do that is, when you scale your layer with a given amount, to scale your circle with the inverted amount.

          That will make your circle look like if it was not scaled.

          Here is a sketch demonstrating the solution:



          // draw a normal circle
          var normalCircle = new Path.Circle({
          center: view.center,
          radius: 50,
          fillColor: 'orange'
          });

          // draw another circle that will have scale transformation reversed
          var notScalingCircle = new Path.Circle({
          center: view.center,
          radius: 30,
          fillColor: 'blue'
          });

          // draw instructions
          new PointText({
          content: 'press mouse button down to zoom in and see that blue circle size does not change',
          point: view.center + [0, -80],
          justification: 'center'
          });

          function scaleLayer(amount) {
          // scale layer
          project.activeLayer.scale(amount, view.center);
          // scale item with inverted amount to make it display like if it was not scaled with the layer
          notScalingCircle.scale(1 / amount);
          }

          // on mouse down...
          function onMouseDown() {
          // ...scale up
          scaleLayer(3);
          }

          // on mouse up...
          function onMouseUp() {
          // ...scale down
          scaleLayer(1 / 3);
          }


          Edit



          In response to the new example, you just have to invert the scaling transformation on the item and not all the matrix (which also include translation and rotation).

          Here is the corrected sketch:



          // draw a normal circle
          var normalCircle = new Path.Circle({
          center: new Point(100, 100),
          radius: 50,
          fillColor: 'orange'
          });

          // draw another circle that will have scale transformation reversed
          var notScalingCircle = new Path.Circle({
          center: new Point(100, 100),
          radius: 30,
          fillColor: 'blue'
          });

          // draw instructions
          new PointText({
          content: 'press mouse button down to zoom in and see that blue circle size does not change',
          point: view.center + [0, -80],
          justification: 'center'
          });

          function transformLayer(matrix) {
          // scale layer
          // project.activeLayer.applyMatrix = false;
          project.activeLayer.matrix = matrix;

          // just invert the scale and not all matrix
          notScalingCircle.scale(1 / matrix.scaling.x, 1 / matrix.scaling.y);
          }

          var matrix = new paper.Matrix(
          2, 0,
          0, 1.5,
          50, 30
          );

          // on mouse down...
          function onMouseDown() {
          // ...scale up
          transformLayer(matrix);
          }

          // on mouse up...
          function onMouseUp() {
          // ...scale down
          transformLayer(matrix.clone().invert());
          }

          • Thanks! This looks like a good solution, but it works properly only when circles are placed at [0,0]. To illustrate what i mean, i edited your sketch (see link on the next my comment) with a more general case. Problem is that on mouse down, the blue circle stays on the same place.

          project.activeLayer.scale(amount, view.center);
          // scale item with inverted amount to make it display like if it was not scaled with the layer
          notScalingCircle.scale(1 / amount);

          • Thanks! This looks like a good solution, but it works properly only when circles are placed at [0,0]. To illustrate what i mean, i edited your sketch (see link on the next my comment) with a more general case. Problem is that on mouse down, the blue circle stays on the same place.

          I think that the best way do that is, when you scale your layer with a given amount, to scale your circle with the inverted amount.

          That will make your circle look like if it was not scaled.

          Here is a sketch demonstrating the solution:



          // draw a normal circle
          var normalCircle = new Path.Circle({
          center: view.center,
          radius: 50,
          fillColor: 'orange'
          });

          // draw another circle that will have scale transformation reversed
          var notScalingCircle = new Path.Circle({
          center: view.center,
          radius: 30,
          fillColor: 'blue'
          });

          // draw instructions
          new PointText({
          content: 'press mouse button down to zoom in and see that blue circle size does not change',
          point: view.center + [0, -80],
          justification: 'center'
          });

          function scaleLayer(amount) {
          // scale layer
          project.activeLayer.scale(amount, view.center);
          // scale item with inverted amount to make it display like if it was not scaled with the layer
          notScalingCircle.scale(1 / amount);
          }

          // on mouse down...
          function onMouseDown() {
          // ...scale up
          scaleLayer(3);
          }

          // on mouse up...
          function onMouseUp() {
          // ...scale down
          scaleLayer(1 / 3);
          }


          Edit



          In response to the new example, you just have to invert the scaling transformation on the item and not all the matrix (which also include translation and rotation).

          Here is the corrected sketch:



          // draw a normal circle
          var normalCircle = new Path.Circle({
          center: new Point(100, 100),
          radius: 50,
          fillColor: 'orange'
          });

          // draw another circle that will have scale transformation reversed
          var notScalingCircle = new Path.Circle({
          center: new Point(100, 100),
          radius: 30,
          fillColor: 'blue'
          });

          // draw instructions
          new PointText({
          content: 'press mouse button down to zoom in and see that blue circle size does not change',
          point: view.center + [0, -80],
          justification: 'center'
          });

          function transformLayer(matrix) {
          // scale layer
          // project.activeLayer.applyMatrix = false;
          project.activeLayer.matrix = matrix;

          // just invert the scale and not all matrix
          notScalingCircle.scale(1 / matrix.scaling.x, 1 / matrix.scaling.y);
          }

          var matrix = new paper.Matrix(
          2, 0,
          0, 1.5,
          50, 30
          );

          // on mouse down...
          function onMouseDown() {
          // ...scale up
          transformLayer(matrix);
          }

          // on mouse up...
          function onMouseUp() {
          // ...scale down
          transformLayer(matrix.clone().invert());
          }
