Using Zoom Function

What I'm trying to do is pull a static image from google maps and then update it based on if the user zooms in on a particular location with a higher resolution picture of the zoomed in area.

My issue is that I'm not exactly sure from the documentation how the zoom method works when an area to be zoomed in on is boxed rather than clicked. If clicked the default zoom is 2x, is there a default zoom for the box? Or is there a function or easy way of calculating this zoom level?

Hi,

you will need to implement a post-zoom callback. Take a look at the doc for zoom and there especially at Example 5: it shows how to execute a callback after the zoom (use xlim and ylim to get the "new" zoomed in area).

Okay, that makes sense. Thank you.

Also, what I decided to do was have size = axis, then call the components of the 1x4 size matrix to manipulate the figure that way I was intending. Again, thanks a bunch!
