zoom(level, center, adjustToCenter, animation)

Zooms the map to the specified level and screen position. There are two zoom modes which can be toggled by adjustToCenter. If adjustToCenter is true the map center after zooming is the coordinate at the center parameter. This is used for double click actions in the map to center the map on this position. If adjustToCenter is false the coordinate at the center parameter stays on the same screen position. This behavior is used for mouse wheel zooming: A city at the mouse position is still at the mouse position after zooming.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
level number the new zoom level
center IWPoint the zoom center (optional, defaults to the center of the screen)
adjustToCenter boolean the zoom mode as described above
animation boolean true to animate the zoom effect (e.g. double click), false to skip the animation (e.g. slider step)
Returns:
false if the map cannot be zoomed (because the level is not available), true otherwise (optional, defaults to false)
Type
boolean

zoomIn(undoable)

Zooms in a level unless the map is on the highest zoom level.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
undoable boolean true or empty, if this action should be undoable, otherwise false.
Returns:
true if zoom was successful, else false.
Type
boolean

zoomOut(undoable)

Zooms out a level unless the map is on the lowest zoom level.

Name Type Description
undoable boolean true or empty, if this action should be undoable, otherwise false.
Returns:
true if zoom was successful, else false.
Type
boolean

zoomToBounds(bounds, offset)

Parameters:
Name Type Description
bounds IWBounds a section of the visible map area
offset object an object as described above, or an integer value
Returns:
