Scaling of data into dc

Looking for help with streching of data into a dc...

I have data I want to draw into a dc. This data has mostly higher or lower sizes than the dc to draw to. Therefor I need to strech or compress the data while drawing into the dc.

My approach was to combine StretchBlt with the class CMemDC. That means that I do in CMemDC the follwing:

m_pDC->StretchBlt(
m_rect_dest.left, // x-coord of destination upper-left corner
m_rect_dest.top, // y-coord of destination upper-left corner
m_rect_dest.Width(), // width of destination rectangle
m_rect_dest.Height(), // height of destination rectangle
this, // handle to source DC
0, // x-coord of source upper-left corner
0, // y-coord of source upper-left corner
m_rect_source.Width(), // width of source rectangle
m_rect_source.Height(), // height of source rectangle
SRCCOPY);

That however results in wrong sizes if the data is larger than the dc. For example if the data has the size 100x100 and the dc 50x50 than it plots with sizes 25x25 instead of 50x50.

The opposite the enlargement however does work.

Now I am totally confused what is going wrong since all my Rect sizes are correct.

The main code is

CBitmap m_bitmap; // Offscreen bitmap
CBitmap* m_oldBitmap; // bitmap originally found in CMemDC
CDC* m_pDC; // Saves CDC passed in constructor
CRect m_rect_dest; // Rectangle of drawing area.
CRect m_rect_source; // Rectangle of source area.
BOOL m_bMemDC; // TRUE if CDC really is a Memory DC.
public:

CMemDC(CDC* pDC, const CRect* pSourceRect = NULL, const CRect* pDestRect = NULL) : CDC()
{
ASSERT(pDC != NULL);

// Some initialization

pDC->GetClipBox(&m_rect_dest);
} else {
m_rect_dest = *pDestRect;

// Get the rectangle to draw
if (pSourceRect == NULL) {
pDC->GetClipBox(&m_rect_source);
} else {
m_rect_source = *pSourceRect;
}

if (m_bMemDC) {

m_bitmap.CreateCompatibleBitmap(pDC, m_rect_dest.Width(), m_rect_dest.Height());

m_bPrinting = pDC->m_bPrinting;
m_hDC = pDC->m_hDC;
m_hAttribDC = pDC->m_hAttribDC;
}

// Fill background
FillSolidRect(m_rect_dest, pDC->GetBkColor());
}

~CMemDC()
{
if (m_bMemDC) {

m_pDC->StretchBlt(
m_rect_dest.left, // x-coord of destination upper-left corner

SRCCOPY);

//Swap back the original bitmap.
SelectObject(m_oldBitmap);
} else {
// All we need to do is replace the DC with an illegal value,
// this keeps us from accidently deleting the handles associated with
// the CDC that was passed to the constructor.
m_hDC = m_hAttribDC = NULL;
}
}

// Allow usage as a pointer
CMemDC* operator->()
{
return this;
}

// Allow usage as a pointer
operator CMemDC*()
{
return this;
}
};

#endif
-----------------------------------------------------

and
-----------------------------------------------------
void CGraphCtrl::OnPaint()
{
CPaintDC dc(this); // device context for painting

CRect (rc_dest);
rc_dest=GetSize();

CRect (rc_source);
rc_source=GetPlotDataSize();

CMemDC pDC(&dc,&rc_source, &rc_dest); // Double Buffering
PlotToDC(& pDC);

}
