Thread: rescaling areas

I'm making a gui, in which you can (basically) create windows, and areas. Areas are just 'areas' inside the window, in which you can draw. Each area is defined by its drawArea, which is calculated like this :

Code:

void getDrawArea(Area* a, Rect *area){
	Window *win;

	win = a->parentWindow;

	area->x = a->bottomLeftPoint->x;
	area->y = a->bottomLeftPoint->y;
	area->w = a->topRightPoint->x - area->x;
	area->h = a->topRightPoint->y - area->y;

	if (a->drawEdges){
		int w = a->edgeWidth;

		area->x = area->x + w;
		area->y = area->y + w;
		area->w = area->w - 2*w;
		area->h = area->h - 2*w;
	}
}

The problem happens when I want to rescale the window. When the window is rescaled, a scalefactor is calculated like this :

Code:

getClientRectCoords(win, clientRect);
scalex = (double)(clientRect->w) / (double)(clientRectOrig->w);
scaley = (double)(clientRect->h) / (double)(clientRectOrig->h);

When I rescale the window (and so also the areas), I want the width of the areaEdges to remain the same, so I replace the getDrawArea() function by this :

Code:

void getDrawArea(Area*a, Rect *area){
	Window *win;

	win = a->parentWindow;

	area->x = a->bottomLeftPoint->x * scalex;
	area->y = a->bottomLeftPoint->y * scaley;
	area->w = a->topRightPoint->x - area->x * scalex;
	area->h = a->topRightPoint->y - area->y * scaley;

	if (a->drawEdges){
		int w = a->edgeWidth;

		area->x = area->x + w;
		area->y = area->y + w;
		area->w = area->w - 2*w;
		area->h = area->h - 2*w;
	}
}

Now the problem is that there are sometimes small spaces between the drawn areas. It looks like a rounding error, but I don't know how it is caused. Can someone help me on this ?

An example of a wrongly resized window can be found here :

The black stripes is where it went wrong.

In case it is needed, here is a part of the drawing routine :

Code:

void drawAreaDefault(int areaHandle){
	Area*a;
	Window *win;
	Color *c;
	Rect area;
	int x, y, w, h;

	a = getAreaFace(areaHandle);
	win = a->parentWindow;

	getArea(a, &area);
	x = area.x;
	y = area.y;
	w = area.w;
	h = area.h;
	c = a->backGroundColor;

	glViewport(x, y, w, h);
	glScissor(x, y, w, h);

	glMatrixMode (GL_PROJECTION);
	glLoadIdentity();
	glOrtho(0, w, 0, h, -1, 1);

	glMatrixMode (GL_MODELVIEW);
	glLoadIdentity();

	glEnable(GL_BLEND);
	glColor4f(c->r, c->g, c->b, c->a);
	glBegin(GL_QUADS);
		glVertex2i(0, 0);
		glVertex2i(0, h);
		glVertex2i(w, h);
		glVertex2i(w, 0);
	glEnd();
	glDisable(GL_BLEND);
}

void drawAreaEdgesDefault(int areaHandle){
	Area*a;
	Window *win;
	Color *c;
	Rect area;
	int x, y, w, h, width;

	a = getArea(areaHandle);
	win = a->parentWindow;

	c = a->parent->edgeColor;

	width = a->edgeWidth;

	getDrawArea(a, &area);
	x = area.x - width;
	y = area.y - width;
	w = area.w + width + width;
	h = area.h + width + width;

	glViewport(x, y, w, h);
	glScissor(x, y, w, h);

	glMatrixMode (GL_PROJECTION);
	glLoadIdentity();
	glOrtho(0, w, 0, h, -1, 1);

	glMatrixMode (GL_MODELVIEW);
	glLoadIdentity();

	//draws the edges as 4 rectangles
	glColor3f(c->r, c->g, c->b);
	glBegin(GL_QUADS);
		glVertex2i(0, 0);
		glVertex2i(0, h);
		glVertex2i(width, h);
		glVertex2i(width, 0);

		glVertex2i(w - width, 0);
		glVertex2i(w - width, h);
		glVertex2i(w, h);
		glVertex2i(w, 0);

		glVertex2i(0, 0);
		glVertex2i(0, width);
		glVertex2i(w, width);
		glVertex2i(w, 0);

		glVertex2i(0, h - width);
		glVertex2i(0, h);
		glVertex2i(w, h);
		glVertex2i(w, h - width);
	glEnd();

	//to give the edges a more '3d look'
	glLineWidth(1.0f);
	glBegin(GL_LINES);
		glColor3f(c->r + 0.1f, c->g + 0.1f, c->b + 0.1f);
		glVertex2i(width - 1, width - 1);
		glVertex2i(width - 1, h - width + 1);
		glVertex2i(width - 1, width - 1);
		glVertex2i(w - width + 1, width - 1);

		glColor3f(c->r - 0.1f, c->g - 0.1f, c->b - 0.1f);
		glVertex2i(w - width, width - 1);
		glVertex2i(w - width, h - width + 1);
		glVertex2i(width - 1, h - width);
		glVertex2i(w - width + 1, h - width);
	glEnd();
