Hi all,

I was just wondering if there was any way using ASP to crop an image to a number of co-ordinates. I'm pretty new to this ASP stuff, although understand enough PHP to help me out.

The only stuff I could find were scripts that you had to pay for.

Thanks

Are you using ASP Classic, or ASP.NET?

If it's the latter, this is pretty easy to do with GDI+ using the graphics object, which you can instantiate with an image file.

If it's the former, you might be able to get at this functionality using Server.CreateObject?

ASP.Net 2.0 i believe. I've seen this GDI+ mentioned on a few tutorials, but they all seemed to be in C#, which I'm unfamiliar with, and wasn't sure if there was another way.

Thanks

Well you could use GDI+ in VB if you prefer that language. Try some code like:

Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromFile("c:\images\1.jpg")
Dim img As Image = g.Clip(0, 0, 10, 10)
img.Save("c:\images\cache\1.jpg")

I haven't used GDI+ in a while, so that's probably a bit off, but if you use the help files ( or msdn.com ) you'll figure it out. The worst case is you can use getpixel/setpixel calls in two for loops ( x & y ), but there's a better way to do it ... I just can't remember what that is.

Thanks. I managed to get it working by hacking up an example, but that's in C#, hopefully it won't be too hard to do something similar now in VB.

It used source and destination rectangles and stuff. That means its using x1, x2, width and height, but the javascript cropper I was using did output x2 and y2 aswell, so It might be easier to implement it your way.
