Hello community,

I would like to present an image (JPG) on a form (org.eclipse.ui.forms).
My idea was to use an org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Canvas widget (was that a
reasonable idea?), which is a Composite. So I tried:

Composite sectionClient =
getToolkit().createComposite(getSection()); // getSection returns a
// formerly created Section instance
....
fCanvas = new Canvas(sectionClient, SWT.NONE);
getToolkit().adapt(fCanvas);

fCanvas.addPaintListener(new PaintListener() {
public void paintControl(PaintEvent e) {
if (fImage != null && !fImage.isDisposed()) {
e.gc.drawImage(fImage, 0, 0);
}
}
});

GridLayout rightPartLayout = new GridLayout();
rightPartLayout.numColumns = 1;

fCanvas.setLayout(rightPartLayout);
getToolkit().paintBordersFor(fCanvas);
GridData gd = new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.FILL, true, true);

Should the call of adapt be sufficient for proper presentation?

The reasoning for my questions are due to the fact that in the
end my image is presented "clipped off" on the right and bottom side.
Please note that I have to assign the actual image during run-time
**after** creation of the composite. At this event I simply do:

public void setImage(Image img) {
fImage = img;
//fCanvas.layout(true, true); // Does actually not help
//fCanvas.redraw(); //Does not help either
}

Interestingly I could not get rid of the clipping problem by adding
SWT.V_SCROLL | SWT.H_SCROLL to the creation flags of the Canvas: The
bars are shown but any scrolling does not cause a corresponding
scrolling of the contained image.

Thank you for any ideas,

Daniel Krügler

Hi,

To get rid of the clipping try to resize your canvas to your image width and
height. If you want to limit your canvas size and still able to display
larger image try to use ScrolledComposite.
Note: you will see a flickering in case of larger image, to get rid of this
flickering try to use SWT.NO_BACKGROUND style when creating the
canvas/scrolled composite.

Hope this helps,
Boby

Just to ensure that I don't misunderstand you: Do you mean

(a) Replace the Canvas by a ScrolledComposite (and thus directly put
draw the image on the composite) or
(b) Place the Canvas onto an additional ScrolledComposite?

Thanks, that is a nice idea!
