Hello,

-Maybe you know that there are some professional drawing software (Microsoft Visio, SmartDraw, etc.) which are able to draw different objects (computers, flowers, cars, etc.). I saw that they are able to draw very big objects (images) without losing the quality of the image.
And here is my question: is there a secret for keeping the clarity of the image irrespective of how much we scale that image? Of course, I know that you can't create a good 1000x1000 pixels image from a 50x50 pixels image, but, even so, I think that there is something that I don't know in working with images.
-Basically, these software, keep a database with images, then, these images are extracted and displayed on the screen.

-I'm working on a small drawing application in C++/MFC, and I need some answers from this perspective.


Best regards!

PS: My english may sound wird, I'm not a native speaker, sorry.

What I have tried:

Both the question and 'What have you tried' must be at least 30 characters.
I just want some ideas, not code, so, I have not tried anything for the moment.

Here is a link about the 'secret'

Remember, they are not pictures you take with your camera. these are bitmap.

They're not drawing a normal bitmap image. The quality doesn't degrade because those apps are drawing vectors and flood filling areas. Those are NOT scaled bitmap images.
