                    </ItemsControl>
                </Grid>
            </utils:ScrollViewer>

The reference point is fixed with Left and Top points to zoom the Canvas. I'd like to zoom in and zoom out on the mouse pointer. How do I make it into the MVVM Pattern? (Not Behind code). Using mouse wheel, I can zoom in canvas. I already use RenderTransformOrigin, CenterX, CenterY but it is not worked. I think I made a wrong approach. Please help me..

Since you didn't provide your current zooming code, here is a generic example of zooming on the mouse position:

<Grid x:Name="grid1" Background="White" MouseWheel="Grid_MouseWheel">
    <Grid x:Name="grid2">
        <Grid.RenderTransform>
            <MatrixTransform/>
        </Grid.RenderTransform>
        <Rectangle Width="20" Height="20" Margin="20" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Fill="Green"/>
    </Grid>
</Grid>

With code that updates the transformation matrix:

private void Grid_MouseWheel(object sender, MouseWheelEventArgs e)
{
    var matTrans = grid2.RenderTransform as MatrixTransform;
    var pos1 = e.GetPosition(grid1);

    var scale = e.Delta > 0 ? 1.1 : 1 / 1.1;

    var mat = matTrans.Matrix;
    mat.ScaleAt(scale, scale, pos1.X, pos1.Y);
    matTrans.Matrix = mat;
    e.Handled = true;
}
