Zoom and ScrollPane

I am working on creating a zoom on a JPanel inside of a JFrame.

At the current moment, the JPanel which houses an image is in paintComponent with Graphics2D. I plan on using the bufferedimage to scale it according to button presses. Right now, I add the JScrollPane when I first call my constructor:

private void createMainPanel()
{
            main = new MainPanel();

            scrollPane = new JScrollPane();
            scrollPane.getViewport().add(main);

            getContentPane().add(createToolBar(), BorderLayout.NORTH);
            getContentPane().add(main);
            getContentPane().add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
}

the problem is, once I resize (call repaint), the JScrollPane stays the same size as before, because the createMainPanel() is never called again. Is there a way to have the JScrollpane change with the MainPanel class which houses the Graphics2D?

Thanks a lot,

Rob

You add the main panel and you add a scrollpane with main as viewport. That's double.
Just make the main panel scrollable by saying:

JPanel main = new JPanel();
getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(main), BorderLayout.CENTER);

I see I was adding extra code there. But the problem now is, when I scale the image using g2.drawImage() and change the width and height to zoom, the scroll bar doesn't change with the size of the picture. I want to zoom in on the panel and still be able to see the whole thing using scroll bars.

Here's the mainPanel class:

class MainPanel extends JPanel
      {
            private BufferedImage img;
            private double zoomX, zoomY;

            public MainPanel()
            {
                  zoomX = 1.0;
                  zoomY = 1.0;
                  try
                  {
                        img = ImageIO.read(new File("purdue-map.jpg"));
                  } catch (IOException e) {
                  }
            }

            public void zoomFactor(int i)
            {
                  if (i == 0)
                  {
                        zoomX += .1;
                        zoomY += .1;
                        // zoom in
                  } else {
                        zoomX -= .1;
                        zoomY -= .1;
                        // zoom out
                  }
            }

            public Dimension getPreferredSize()
            {
                  if (img == null)
                  {
                        return new Dimension(100,100);
                  } else {
                        return new Dimension(img.getWidth(null), img.getHeight(null));
                  }
            }

            public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
            {
                  super.paintComponent(g);
                  Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
                  //g2d.scale(zoomX, zoomY);
                  /* NOTE: we can use scale or scale with width and height */
                  g2d.drawImage(img,-img.getWidth()/2,-img.getHeight()/2,(int)(img.getWidth()*zoomX),(int)(img.getHeight()*zoomY),null);
            }
      }
