title: Want to visually represent raw information
body: <p>I have a task to represent data in the form of tiles. Here is an example data:</p>
  
  <pre><code>WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWDWWWWW
  WCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCGGGGGGW
  DCCCCCCCCCCCCCCSSdGGGGW
  WCCCCCCCCCCCCCCSSSdddGW
  WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWDWWWWW
  WCCCCCCCCCCWCCCCCCCCCCW
  WCCCCCCCCCCWCCCCCCCCCCW
  DCCCCCCCCCCWCCCCCCCCCCW
  WCCCCCCCCCCWCCCCCCCCCCW
  WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Legend:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>W = wall</li>
  <li>D = Door</li>
  <li>C = Carpet</li>
  <li>S = Sand</li>
  <li>d = Dirt</li>
  <li>G = Grass</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I'm trying to represent this in an application. If I take a grid of such data, say 300x300, and decide on a fixed size that represents an object, the resulting map will be massive and require quite a lot of scrolling.</p>
  
  <p>Putting aside the later requirements of painting painting blocks of object and what not, I mainly trying to get a smooth fast scrolling and basic editing on each object. I'm a WinForm developer and don't know if it'll be a good idea to do this in WinForm. WPF comes to mind as it's more like a free roam application instead of the rigid WinForms.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions please.</p>
