jQuery Drag/Resize with CSS Transform Scale

Question

I am applying a CSS transform (and the browser specific -webkit, -o etc):

transform: matrix(0.5 , 0 , 0, 0.5, 0 , 0);

to a div then using jQuery\'s draggable

Answer 1

I would add this as a comment to the accepted answer from Gung Foo but I don't have the rep to comment.

I found Gung's answered worked perfectly for me however the resizable fix only worked when dragging from the bottom-right corner. I also have handles on the other three corners and found the element would shift so I had to add the fix from draggable to the resizable functions.

Maybe there's a better way, or I missed something, but I found the modified resizable below worked for me from all handles:

$(this).resizable({
    minWidth: -(contentElem.width()) * 10,  // these need to be large and negative
    minHeight: -(contentElem.height()) * 10, // so we can shrink our resizable while scaled

    // adjust the initial position to accomodate for the scale
    start: function(event, ui){
        ui.position.left = Math.round(ui.position.left/zoomScale);
        ui.position.top = Math.round(ui.position.top/zoomScale);
        ui.originalPosition.left = ui.position.left;
        ui.originalPosition.top = ui.position.top;
    },

    resize: function(event, ui) {

        var changeWidth = ui.size.width - ui.originalSize.width; // find change in width
        var newWidth = ui.originalSize.width + changeWidth / zoomScale; // adjust new width by our zoomScale

        var changeHeight = ui.size.height - ui.originalSize.height; // find change in height
        var newHeight = ui.originalSize.height + changeHeight / zoomScale; // adjust new height by our zoomScale

        ui.size.width = newWidth;
        ui.size.height = newHeight;

        // if the position is changed by a NW,NE,SW handle resize adjust for the scale
        var changeWidth = ui.size.width - ui.originalSize.width; // find change in width
        var newWidth = ui.originalSize.width + changeWidth / zoomScale; // adjust new width by our zoomScale

        var changeHeight = ui.size.height - ui.originalSize.height; // find change in height
        var newHeight = ui.originalSize.height + changeHeight / zoomScale; // adjust new height by our zoomScale

        ui.size.width = newWidth;
        ui.size.height = newHeight;

    }
});
