Hi ,

I have a little problem.

I have one world map and I want to make one effect on the map.

I want to make concentric parallelogram on the map , but these
parallelograms , will shrink from outter to the destination x,y on the map.


But the destination of shrink effect will change if the x,y possition will change. (for example the mouse possition).

I have attached example to see what I mean.

x1,y1,x2y2 defines the initial box (unzoomed).
x,y the point to zoom in on.

c = 50

xa# = x-x1
xb# = x2-x

xa# = xa#/c
xb# = xb#/c

Then in the zoom loop:

x1 = x1 + xa#
x2 = x2 - xb#


Same thing for Y. I think that'd work.

I didn't understand well ,

I try to use this example ,

but

I dont have correct resaults yet.

I made this code , but is something wrong.

Where I put these lines?
-------------
xa# = x-x1
xb# = x2-x

xa# = xa#/c
xb# = xb#/c
-------------

My example code.



The map image is attached.

Then I made something more interest with this code.



I am very close.
The only thing that left , the destination square must be in the
center of the mouse direction in zoom in.

Here's an actual example. (had to use floats, integers were throwing off the precision)
