Scaling Graphics

Question

I'm creating a program that basically draws an nxn matrix of ellipses. The program enables the user to change the distance between the ellipses. I want to let the user change the size of the ellipses without changing the relative distance between them. I already have a zoom function in place using the scaletransform method but want to be able to scale the graphics without throwing off the distances between the ellipses. I tried simply multiplying the w,h,x,y dimensions and locations of the ellipses, but found that it throws off the spacing between them. Is there any way to go about this???? Any help greatly appreciated. thanks, Brian

You could put all of the ellipses in a GraphicsPath using AddEllipse and then use the Transform method with a Matrix to scale the GraphicsPath. Is this what you were trying to do? Graphics.ScaleTransform will scale the whole screen and act like a zoom which I guess is what you already have in place. Hope this helps -Mike G.
