That or GD, which is super fun btw, but I wondered if he meant GL or something -- so I chose not to answer initially. GL can be done in perl, but it's painful to bootstrap imo. -Paul	[reply]

Gnome2::Canvas can be scaled / zoomed. I'm not familiar with any graph modules using it, though. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]

Making the graphs from data is best done with GD or one of the graph modules. Once you do that, you can load the jpg(png etc) onto a Tk::Zinc Canvas OR a Gtk2::GnomeCanvas. The canvas will allow you to zoom the image. Here are a few examples showing the basic zoom. Zooming can also be complicated by zooming around a mouse click. gtk imager viewer has a built zoom and panning with mouse movements. Read more...
