Scaling Graphics2D object shifts it

Question

I have a JScrollPane that contains a custom JLabel with an ImageIcon. I want the user to be able to zoom in and out on the image. I'm trying to use the scale() method in the Graphics2D class to do it, but whenever I zoom, the image is being shifted down/up and right/left depending on whether I'm zooming in or out. I don't know why this is happening or how to tell how much I need to translate() the Graphics2D object to counteract this. I really appreciate any help you guys can give me. Here's my code:

class ImageViewer extends JFrame implements ActionListener{
    private int WIDTH = 800;
    private int HEIGHT = 600;
    private JScrollPane scrollPane;
    JMenuItem zoomIn, zoomOut;
    JPanel panel;
    MyLabel label;

    private String imageUrl = "picture.jpg";
    double scale = 1.0;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ImageViewer viewer = new ImageViewer();
        viewer.setVisible(true);
    }

    private ImageViewer() {
        this.setTitle("Image Viewer");
        this.setSize(WIDTH, HEIGHT);
        this.setBackground(Color.gray);
        this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

        panel = new JPanel();
        panel.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        this.getContentPane().add(panel);

        JMenuBar menubar = new JMenuBar();

        JMenu zoom = new JMenu("Zoom");
        zoomIn = new JMenuItem("Zoom In");
        zoom.add(zoomIn);
        zoomIn.addActionListener(this);

        zoomOut = new JMenuItem("Zoom Out");
        zoom.add(zoomOut);
        zoomOut.addActionListener(this);

        menubar.add(zoom);
        this.add(menubar, BorderLayout.NORTH);

        Icon image = new ImageIcon(imageUrl);

        label = new MyLabel(image);
        scrollPane = new JScrollPane();
        scrollPane.getViewport().add(label);
        panel.add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    }

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        Object ob = e.getSource();

        if (ob == zoomIn) {
            scale += .1;
            label.revalidate();
            label.repaint();
        }
        if (ob == zoomOut) {
            scale -= .1;
            label.revalidate();
            label.repaint();
        }
    }

    class MyLabel extends JLabel{

        public MyLabel(Icon i){
            super(i);
        }

        protected void paintComponent(Graphics g){
            Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
            AffineTransform at = g2.getTransform();
            g2.scale(scale, scale);
            g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
            super.paintComponent(g2);

            g2.setTransform(at);
        }

        public Dimension getPreferredSize(){
            int w = (int)(scale * getIcon().getIconWidth()),
                h = (int)(scale * getIcon().getIconHeight());
            return new Dimension(w, h);
        }

    }

}

Answer 1

Before g2.scale(scale, scale); add g2.translate(desiredX, desiredY);
