Vala get icon from theme with spesific size? - image

I want to get an icon from system and show it in Gtk.Image but in a spesific size.
Gtk.Image.icon_size property is an enum, it isn't setting pixel width or height. (Gtk.IconSize)
This is how I get icon from system theme:
var icon = new Gtk.Image.from_icon_name("icon_name", 0);
...
// Something like `icon.set_size(150, 150);` ?
But even it is a .svg file in .icons folder, it is displaying as too small like 16x16.
I want to display it like 150x150.
Thanks!

Set the (poorly named) pixel size
var icon = new Gtk.Image.from_icon_name("icon_name", DIALOG);
// Just use anthing here ^^^^^^^
icon.pixel_size = 150

Here is how I've solved:
// 150 is pixel size:
var icon_theme = IconTheme.get_default();
var pixbuf_icon = icon_theme.load_icon("icon-name", 150, IconLookupFlags.FORCE_SVG);
var final_img = new Image.from_pixbuf(pixbuf_icon);
// Use final_img...

How to achieve high quality cropped images from canvas?

I am desperately searching for a good cropping tool. There are a bunch out there, for example:
Croppic
Cropit
Jcrop
The most important thing that I am trying to find is a cropping tool, that crops images without making the cropped image low in resolution. You can hack this by using the canvas tag by resizing the image. This way the image itself stays native, only the representation is smaller.
DarkroomJS was also something near the solution, but, unfortunately, the downloaded demo did not work. I'll try to figure out whats wrong. Does someone know some great alternatives, or how to get the cropped images in...let's say "native" resolution?
Thanks in advance!
You are relying on the cropping tool to provide an interface for the users. the problem is that the image returned is sized to the interface and not the original image. Rather than me sifting through the various API's to see if they provide some way of controlling this behaviour (I assume at least some of them would) and because it is such a simple procedure I will show how to crop the image manually.
To use JCrop as an example
Jcrop provides various events for cropstart, cropmove, cropend... You can add a listener to listen to these events and keep a copy of the current cropping interface state
var currentCrop;
jQuery('#target').on('cropstart cropmove cropend',function(e,s,crop){
currentCrop = crop;
}
I don't know where you have set the interface size and I am assuming the events return the crop details at the interface scale
var interfaceSize = { //you will have to work this out
w : ?,
h : ?.
}
Your original image
var myImage = new Image(); // Assume you know how to load
So when the crop button is clicked you can create the new image by scaling the crop details back to the original image size, creating a canvas at the cropped size, drawing the image so that the cropped area is corectly positioned and returning the canvas as is or as a new image.
// image = image to crop
// crop = the current cropping region
// interfaceSize = the size of the full image in the interface
// returns a new cropped image at full res
function myCrop(image,crop,interfaceSize){
var scaleX = image.width / interfaceSize.w; // get x scale
var scaleY = image.height / interfaceSize.h; // get y scale
// get full res crop region. rounding to pixels
var x = Math.round(crop.x * scaleX);
var y = Math.round(crop.y * scaleY);
var w = Math.round(crop.w * scaleX);
var h = Math.round(crop.h * scaleY);
// Assume crop will never pad
// create an drawable image
var croppedImage = document.createElement("canvas");
croppedImage.width = w;
croppedImage.height = h;
var ctx = croppedImage.getContext("2d");
// draw the image offset so the it is correctly cropped
ctx.drawImage(image,-x,-y);
return croppedImage
}
You then only need to call this function when the crop button is clicked
var croppedImage;
myButtonElement.onclick = function(){
if(currentCrop !== undefined){ // ensure that there is a selected crop
croppedImage = myCrop(myImage,currentCrop,interfaceSize);
}
}
You can convert the image to a dataURL for download, and upload via
imageData = croppedImage.toDataURL(mimeType,quality) // quality is optional and only for "image/jpeg" images

Xamarin image fills the page

Hello I'm developing a Xamarin.Forms application.
I have this code and the image fits to page on simulator.
How can I display the image in its original size?
var image = new Image { Aspect = Aspect.AspectFit};
image.Source = "image2.png";
Content = image;
To set the dimensions of an image you can't use the Width and Height properties. Because the Width and Height properties are read-only (as the error said).
Try to use the WidthRequest and HeightRequest properties to set your desired dimension.
Infos from Xamarin-Developer-Page:
WidthRequest does not immediately change the Bounds of a
VisualElement, however setting the WidthRequest will change the result
of calls to GetSizeRequest, which will in turn modify the final size
the element receives during a layout cycle.

Put an image in the center of a cell with migradoc

I need to put an image in the center of a table's cell.
When I add the image in a cell the image is aligned topleft.
How can I align the image in the center of a cell?
You might need to add a paragraph to the cell, set the alignment on the paragraph, and then add the image to the paragraph.
row.Cells[0].Format.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;
row.Cells[0].VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center;
row.Cells[0].AddParagraph().AddImage(imageLocation);
row.Cells[0].Format.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;
row.Cells[0].VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center;
In my version of MigraDoc, Jeff and Reuben's solution does not work as shown: Setting the cell's Format.Alignment property has no effect, even when the image is inside a paragraph.
However, what does work for me is to put the image in a paragraph, just as Jeff and Reuben say, then give the paragraph a named style which includes centering.
In my method which predefines all my styles, I do something like:
// Here we assume the "TableText" style has already been created
var sty = doc.Styles.AddStyle( "TableTextCenter", "TableText" );
sty.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;
And at the point where I add the image, I do this:
var para = table.Cells[ 0 ].AddParagraph();
para.Style = "TableTextCenter"; // <----- This is the magic!
var img = para.AddImage( imageFileSpec );
img.LockAspectRatio = true;
img.Width = "4cm";
img.WrapFormat = new WrapFormat {
Style = WrapStyle.Through
};
As #Reuben says, what is interesting is:
row.Cells[0].AddParagraph().AddImage(imageLocation);
I was trying with
row.Cells[0].AddImage(imageLocation);
And the image was inserted in the document but I couln't get it centered.

How to improve display quality in pdf.js

I'm using open source library for PDF documents from mozilla(pdf.JS).
When i'm trying to open pdf documents with bad quality, viewer displays it with VERY BAD quality.
But if I open it in reader, or in browser (drag/drop into new window), whis document displays well
Is it possible to change?
Here is this library on github mozilla pdf.js
You just have to change the scaling of your pdf i.e. when rendering a page:
pdfDoc.getPage(num).then(function(page) {
var viewport = page.getViewport(scale);
canvas.height = viewport.height;
canvas.width = viewport.width;
...
It is the scale value you have to change. Then, the resulting rendered image will fit into the canvas given its dimensions e.g. in CSS. What this means is that you produce a bigger image, fit it into the container you had before and so you effectively improve the resolution.
There is renderPage function in web/viewer.js and print resolution is hard-coded in there as 150 DPI.
function renderPage(activeServiceOnEntry, pdfDocument, pageNumber, size) {
var scratchCanvas = activeService.scratchCanvas;
var PRINT_RESOLUTION = 150;
var PRINT_UNITS = PRINT_RESOLUTION / 72.0;
To change print resolution to 300 DPI, simply change the line below.
var PRINT_RESOLUTION = 300;
See How to increase print quality of PDF file with PDF.js viewer for more details.
Maybe it's an issue related with pixel ratio, it used to happen to me when device pixel ratio is bigger than 1 (for example iPhone, iPad, etc.. you can read this question for a better explanation.
Just try that file on PDF.js Viewer. If it works like expected, you must check how PDF.js works with pixel ratio > 1 here. What library basically does is:
canvas.width = viewport.width * window.devicePixelRatio;
canvas.styles.width = viewport.width + 'px'; // Note: The px unit is required here
But you must check how PDF.js works for better perfomance
I ran into the same issue and I used the intent option of renderContent to fix that.
const renderContext = {
intent: 'print',
// ....
}
var renderTask = page.render(renderContext);
As per docs renderContext accepts intent which supports three values - display, print or any. The default is display. When I used print instead the render quality was extremely good, at par with any desktop app.

Photoshop Action to fill image to make a certain ratio

I am looking to make a photoshop action (maybe this isn't possible, any other application recommendations would be helpful as well). I want to take a collection of photos and make them a certain aspect ration, ex: 4:3.
So I have an image that is 150px wide by 200px high. What I would like to happen is the image's canvas is made to be 267px wide, with the new area filled with a certain color.
So there are two possibilities I can think of:
1) Photoshop actions could do this, but I would have to pull current height, multiply by 1.333333 and then put that value in the width box of the canvas resize. Is it possible to have calculated values in Photoshop actions?
2) Some other application has this feature built in.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Wow, I see now (after writing the answer) that this was asked a long time ago. . . oh well. This script does the trick.
This Photoshop script will resize any image's canvas so that it has a 4:5 aspect ratio. You can change the aspect ratio applied by changing arWidth and arHeight. The fill color will be set to the current background color. You could create an action to open a file, apply this script, then close the file to do a batch process.
Shutdown Photoshop.
Copy this javascript into a new file named "Resize Canvas.jsx" in Photoshop's Presets\Scripts folder.
Start Photoshop and in the File - Scripts menu it should appear.
#target photoshop
main ();
function main ()
{
if (app.documents.length < 1)
{
alert ("No document open to resize.");
return;
}
// These can be changed to create images with different aspect ratios.
var arHeight = 4;
var arWidth = 5;
// Apply the resize to Photoshop's active (selected) document.
var doc = app.activeDocument;
// Get the image size in pixels.
var pixelWidth = new UnitValue (doc.width, doc.width.type);
var pixelHeight = new UnitValue (doc.height, doc.height.type);
pixelWidth.convert ('px');
pixelHeight.convert ('px');
// Determine the target aspect ratio and the current aspect ratio of the image.
var targetAr = arWidth / arHeight;
var sourceAr = pixelWidth / pixelHeight;
// Start by setting the current dimensions.
var resizedWidth = pixelWidth;
var resizedHeight = pixelHeight;
// The source image aspect ratio determines which dimension, if any, needs to be changed.
if (sourceAr < targetAr)
resizedWidth = (arWidth * pixelHeight) / arHeight;
else
resizedHeight = (arHeight * pixelWidth) / arWidth;
// Apply the change to the image.
doc.resizeCanvas (resizedWidth, resizedHeight, AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER);
}
Mind that the accepted answer from #user268911 may not work for you if the source image has different pixels/inch than 72. Because the UnitValue.convert function works correctly only with 72 px/inch. To be sure the conversion is correct for ever pixel/inch value, set baseUnit property as follows:
...
var pixelWidth = new UnitValue (doc.width, doc.width.type);
pixelWidth.baseUnit = UnitValue (doc.width.baseUnit, "in");
var pixelHeight = new UnitValue (doc.height, doc.height.type);
pixelHeight.baseUnit = UnitValue (doc.height.baseUnit, "in");
...
For more details about the conversion see "Converting pixel and percentage values" section of the Adobe JavaScript Tools Guide.
What languages do you know? ImageMagick has command line tools that can do this, but you'd need to know a scripting language to get the values and calculate the new ones.
For .NET, my company's product, DotImage Photo, is free and can do this (need to know C# or VB.NET)
