Allowing zoom and scroll for JUST a container field instead of the whole layout

[owangolama]

Hello. Working on my first FMGo solution. I've locked the zoom and turned off the menus so that things aren't crazy bouncing around all the time.

I have a large detailed graphic in the middle of the layout. I would like the user to be able to zoom and slide that graphic to see more detail and or simply move around the visible portion. Can I use gestures to do this? (Pinch, expand, and finger slide, or whatever that's called.) If so, how would I go about figuring this out (I couldn't find an example anywhere).

Thanks in advance for any help!

tap on image navigate to another layout only showing the graphic turn off zoom lock while on layout - use back button in top/bottom navigation to return previous layout setting zoom lock

Sorry... I replied to this once already, but I'm not sure why it didn't post. I don't understand this answer.

Simply put, I have a graphic on the page that I'd like to pinch and zoom without going to another layout. It needs to stay in the same place and not spawn a bunch of other controls. Perhaps this is not possible? Thanks as always for any help.

You could try viewing the graphic in a webviewer, but that means exporting the image before you can view it in the webviewer. Haven't tried it, but you should be able to pinch and zoom in that case.

I don't know if that would work.

But I am quite sure you don't need to export the image before you can view it in a web viewer - see the attached demo.

Nifty. Didn't know that. 'Set Webviewer', must remember that.

Thanks Comment!

If I can do it without exporting, that might work, but I was really hoping to keep it in a "normal" interface since I have to do other things with it that I certainly can't do in the viewer. Nonetheless, I am grateful for this advice. 

The simple answer to my original question unfortunately appears to be "No."

If you insert the image(s) as a PDF, then you should be able to zoom/scroll... at least you can on a Mac.

Obviously, since your question was a year ago, you've probably moved on ... but you never know. 🙂
