Is there a way to implement a zoom tool in perspective to zoom area of an image ?

I’ve found that you can “zoom” in on an image by changing the fit mode to **None** if the image is larger than the container, or **Absolute** with a width and/or height larger than the container. You can also enable fit scroll to scroll up and down.

There is also a **Percent** mode, which uses the width and height values to fit based on percentage of the container. [per Perspective Image Documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Perspective+-+Image)

However, I found this difficult to utilize:

1. If the Dimensions of the Images are Unknown
2. If the dimensions of the container are unknown during runtime

I wish there were a “Percentage-Image” mode that would be based on the original dimensions of the source image.
