Cocos2d-x zoom in zoom out in rendertexture - cocos2d-x-3.0

I are working on a coloring game for kids.I have used bucket fill and it working fine but the problem is coloring image contains some small areas which are impossible to fill by touching on it. I wanted to Implement zoom in and zoom out so that kids can zoom in to small area fill it and zoom out. I have tried scaling rendertexture but it scale around anchor point. Is there a way that I can scale around the touch location ?

Scaling will always be done around the anchor point. You have to reposition your RenderTexture, after scaling, so your touch location remains centered.

How do I make Pixel Perfect Camera scale like Normal Camera in Unity 2D

This is my scene
Right now if I use resolutions that aren't 16:9 the Pixel Perfect Camera zooms out quite a lot showing parts that shouldn't be shown.
How do I get it to scale like the Normal Camera which just cuts out parts outside the borders?
The Reference Resolution is currently set to 320x180, I tried changing the Reference Resolution to other resolutions (640x360, etc) but that changed nothing.
Tried Pixel Snapping on/off.
Cropping the X and Y does a good job at hiding the outside borders places but makes the screen too small for non 16:9 resolutions.

How can I make the SCNCamera that i instantiated zoom into only nodes that i want in SceneKit

Pretend i have 3 nodes in total. One of the nodes is a large SCNShere and i put the camera inside this sphere and make the sphere double sided with a textured image. I then put in two smaller spheres next to each other in the center inside this sphere. I also allowCameraControl. I want to be able to zoom into these two smaller spheres without zooming into the larger sphere and messing up the detail on that sphere.
You can't put limits on the camera that's automatically created with allowCameraControl. You'll have to do your own camera management, using your own gesture recognizers.
Another solution would be to rethink your approach to the background image. Instead of using a sky sphere for the background (which is what it sounds like you're doing), use a skybox, or cube map. You can supply a cube map through the scene's background property. The SCNMaterial documentation explains the options for supply a cube map.
Hmm, I wonder what would happen if you use the large sphere's textured image/material as the scene's background, instead of putting it on an enclosing sphere?
I like the idea of using an image as the background but there are two problems. One is i looked on the web for ways to make an image the background and none of them work. Two I want the background to have depth so in order to go on that idea I need to find a way to zoom into the background and have the image pan in the opposite direction that I drag.

Unity3d background

I'm trying to get an image to be a background on my camera. It's one picture, it doesn't need to be repeated. It would be nice to have it stretch out when the resolution of the screen changes. I've found older tutorials that show how todo it in an older version of unity, like this one: Link
However it seems that functionality is no longer in the newest version of Unity. Does anyone have any idea how to put a single picture as background?
thanks in advance.
Add a Canvas (UI --> Canvas) to your scene and set it's render mode to "Screen Space - Camera".
Set the Canvas' Render Camera to your scenes main camera (i.e. the camera you render your 3D scene with... or the only camera in the scene ;) )
make sure the Plane Distance of the Canvas is set to the far plane of your camera. So if your far clipping plane is set to 1000 set the Plane Distance to 1000 as well (or 999, if images in the canvas happen to be clipped away by the camera). If your Plane Distance is lower than the far clipping plane of your camera, objects behind the Plane Distance will be occluded by Images on the canvas.
Add an Image (UI --> Image) to the Canvas and set its anchor presets to strech on both axes.
Set the Left, Top, Right and Bottom Parameters of the Image's Rect Transform to 0. Now the image should be full screen and adjust to any change in the aspect ratio.
That should do the trick :)

iPhone: Properly scaling lines / circle drawn in drawRect

I am drawing custom annotations over an image (circle, arrow etc) in my iPhone app. I allow pinch zooming & drag gestures for these annotations. These annotations are custom made AnnotationView with drawRect drawing circle / line etc.
I am finding issues with zooming
Try 1: The zoom is applied by scale transformation to the AnnotationView. Result: the annotations become blurred.
Try 2: To avoid blurring, I added redrawing with co-ords multiplied by scale factor instead of directly manipulating the transformation. This works without blurring, but, soon the circle etc goes out of the views bounds & is clipped.
I could use a bigger frame (size of full image), but, I am keeping the smaller frame so that I can easily move it back to position when it is dragged out of the window by user's zoom / pan gestures.
Question:
Is there a better way to manage this? I would like to zoom without blurring, while also having the ability to move it back to position if it is dragged out of original image bounds.

ios game make a mask layer effect

I need a 'mask' layer that covers the whole screen, with the center part (a circle) to be transparent. Then I can move the mask layer around using touch. User are only able to see the transparent part in the middle.
I don't think a png file can help because the file need to be very large to cover the whole screen.
So is it possible to do it by coding?
i found this online, but don't know much about openGL. http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/topic/7921.
it would be great if i can use a CCMaskLayer and input with the radius. i can handle the touch event by my self.
the attached png file is expected result, the center part is transparent. i need this to cover my screen, and only show the middle part. the red part is covered.
I write a CCMaskLayer to do the exactly same thing.

You may solve this task with cropped circle texture in two ways:
1) Draw sprite with circle texture in screen center and draw another 4 sprites around (on top, bottom, left and right sides) with small red texture but scaled to cover all screen.
2) (more elegant but harder to implement) Make your mask layer fullscreen but adjust texture coordinates. In details:
set wrap mode to GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE to your circle texture
adjust texture coordinates of your layer vertices (to do this you need to subclass base CCLayer):
Here v means vertex position and t - texture coordinates. You need to set correct texture coordinates for four corner vertices of layer. For future if you will want to drag circle you will need to add some offset values to texture coordinates.
