XL 97 - designing form with zooming capabilities
Hi,
For a Glass House Plants Grower I'm designing an application that will keep track of his plants. More specific: at which location exacly in his acres big glass house are at any given time his plants (so he knows where the plants are that need pruning after x weeks, that need bigger pots after y weeks etc.) The plants are on rolling tables. The tables are on 100+ tracks (lets say: all are laying direction North-South) Adjacent to the tracks are 2 extra tracks (1 at the North-side and 1 at the South-side) laying East-West On each of these 2 trackts are moving devices (call 'm trains if you like) that are able to pick up a rolling table from one of the 100 tracks and move it to and "drop" it on another different track. I'm looking for a good way to present the tracklayout on a form I tried to use screen-wide "thin" labels presenting the tracks and small "thin" labels in different color presenting the rolling tables. That in itself works but probably there is graphically-wise a better way to do it. Also I' don't know how to implement some sort of zooming. One example that I could find that comes close is the Sysinternals DiskView utility: http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/DiskView.html Any ideas? |
