ViewPort method without zoom effect in JavaFX - javafx

Question

I'm trying to Slice an image to show on a screen.
For example if I change the right margin to 20 of the flower picture on the left and the bottom margin of the flower picture in the right to 20 they should behave as follow:
(the original pictures are shown in the first column)
enter image description here
ViewPort method does exactly what I want, cutting the image and leaving the margin empty but it uses image's original size displaying a zoom effect as it says in the javafx website:
"The rectangular viewport into the image. The viewport is specified in the coordinates of the image, prior to scaling or any other transformations.
If viewport is null, the entire image is displayed. If viewport is non-null, only the portion of the image which falls within the viewport will be displayed. If the image does not fully cover the viewport then any remaining area of the viewport will be empty."
I already tried to use imageView.resize(screenWidth, screenHeight) before setting the viewport but it doesn't work.
Also tried to imageView.setFitWidth(screenWidth), imageView.setFitHeight(screenHeight)
Is it possible to rescale the image so it's displayed as described?
Or any other work-around?
Here is my code for left margin as an example:
mediaContent.resize(screenWidth, screen.getHeight());
// mediaContent.setFitWidth(screenWidth);
// mediaContent.setFitHeight(screen.getHeight());
mediaContent.setViewport(new Rectangle2D(screenWidth-dXLeft, 0, screenWidth, screen.getHeight()));
Update: Tried setting setFitWidth and setFitHeightas suggested stills displays the image zoomed in
`imageView.setFitWidth(space.getX());
imageView.setFitHeight(space.getY());
imageView.setViewport(new Rectangle2D(screen.getWidth()-space.getX(), 0, screen.getWidth(), screen.getHeight()));
imageView.setFitWidth(space.getX());
imageView.setFitHeight(space.getY());
return imageView;`
This is the result when I use the setViewport method when not
setting margins: enter image description here
How it should be when not setting margins: enter image description here

Answer 1

It seems that what I wanted does not make sense.
If I want the image to fit the screen I have to use fitScreenWidth(screenWidth)and fitScreenHeight(screenHeight) but it does not make sense to use viewPort method in this case since the image has been resized already.
viewPort method should be used only with the original image's dimensions.
