panning issue

[Jorg Heymans <jh...@domek.be>]

Hi,

I have an issue with the default panning functionality of JSVGCanvas.

Using shift-leftmouse you can pan the content of the canvas around, but 
as soon as you move the mouse outside of the canvas the shapes jump 
straight back to where they were before the panning started.
Now i experimented a bit with other gfx programs, most of them stop 
panning the panned object as soon as the mouse pointer leaves the 
canvas. If you then release the mousebutton the object just stays where 
it was when the panning stopped. It seems to me this is fairly intuitive 
behaviour.


I am looking at producing a patch for this, it is not that trivial. For 
example mouse entered and mouse exited events are not always delivered 
(seems to depend just how quick you hover the mouse over edge).

Any comments before i proceed with this?


Regards
Jorg

[PATCH] "proper" panning (was Re: panning issue)

[Jorg Heymans <jh...@domek.be>]

Attached patch seems to do the trick ok.

There is just one (cosmetic) thing : batik does not repaint the shape 
straight away after you've partially panned it off the canvas, and then 
pan it back in. The part that panned off the canvas only gets redrawn 
when you stop panning.

I don't know if this can be easily fixed somehow.

WDYT about the approach? I don't know how to run the testsuite so i 
don't know whether this patch introduces any regressions.

Regards
Jorg
