Dynamic Image Resizing Module v3

Command Reference

• width, height - force the width and/or height to certain dimensions. Whitespace will be added if the aspect ratio is different.
• maxwidth, maxheight - fit the image within the specified bounds. (Most often used)
• crop=auto - Crop the image the the size specified by width and height. Centers and minimally crops to preserve aspect ratio.
• crop=(x1,y1,x2,y2) - Crop the image to the specified rectangle on the source image. You can use negative coordinates to specifiy bottom-right relative locations.
• rotate=degress - Rotate the image.
• bgcolor=color name| hex code (6-char). Sets the background/whitespace color.
• stretch=fill - Stretches the image to width and height if both are specified. This is the only way to lose aspect ratio.

• flip=h|v|both - Flips the image after resizing.
• sourceFlip=h|v|both - Flips the source image before resizing/rotation.
• paddingWidth=px & paddingColor=color|hex. paddingColor defaults to bgcolor, which defaults to white.
• borderWidth=px, borderColor=color|hex.
• format=jpg|png|gif
• colors=2-255 - Control the palette size of PNG and GIF images. If omitted, PNGs will be 24-bit.
