I have a live tile in my Windows 8 store app which is defined as TileWideImageAndText01 and TileSquarePeekImageAndText04. The image is in an format which doesn't fit the tile, so I guess the tile is taking the center of the picture?
Actually I want the tile to take the top of my picture and not centering it.
Is it possible to change this behaviour in my live tile declaration?
Unfortunately I found out that there is no out-of-the-box-solution for my problem.
I solved it by creating a BitmapResource out of my image, cropping it programmatically and save it back to my ApplicationFolder, where I can reference the image in my live tile with "ms-appdata:///...."

I am downloading a number of images to my local drive then adding them to a spreadsheet using insert_image(). The images are correctly oriented in Windows Explorer and other image viewing apps. However when I add an image (portrait) to the spreadsheet it becomes rotated to landscape. Landscape images do not appear to be rotated.
I also have a URL link for each image. When I click the image it opens up in a viewer in the correct orientation. It appears as if the insert_image is not respecting the image orientation. The EXIF information does not contain orientation.
Is there a way to specify image orientation, or rotate the image before inserting?
Thanks in advance,
Ian
Thanks for your help. That does seem to be the behaviour. xlsxwriter insert images in the ‘raw’ orientation of the image.
I was trying to insert images which have exif information, where all image are captured in the same orientation - in supported viewers exif flag is used in to rotate the image to the way the camera was oriented when taking the photo. I have solved the problem by applying the rotation to the image before inserting it into excel using xlsxwriter.
I'm working on building a slot machine reel. My idea is to stack all the images and move them downward and then back to the top once it gets out of view.
In order for this to work, I would have to mask the areas outside of the area I want displayed.
Each reel has 27 different images on it.
I tried CCMaskedSprite but can't figure out how it works.
Update
Given the image below, I want to mask, or hide all the graphics outside the viewable area.
Do you know why this is happening and most important how to fix it?
Adding the key with what value?
Starting in tvOS 10 you must include a wide top shelf image, Top Shelf Image Wide, with a size of 2320px by 720px #1x. tvOS Human Interface Guidelines: Icons and Images.
If Top Shelf Image Wide is not already in your Assets.xcassets you can create one manually, or with the + Add a Group or Image Set button. For example:
The crop area is still 1920px x 720px #1x when the top shelf image is displayed on the Apple TV. So, if you're using any text or images that you don't want cut off make sure to make them centered in those dimensions. For example:
The areas in red are only used for sliding in your top shelf image when your app icon becomes highlighted on the Apple TV home screen.
EDIT:
Check your target's Build Settings.
I am trying to reference images with a greater height than width (portrait format) in KML script for Google Earth; however, the image always comes out as landscape, or rotated left 90 degrees, e.g.
<img id="id_photo" src="2012_01_21-dscf03.jpg" width="500"></img>
I've tried everything I could think of. Is there a image tag to correct this, e.g., format="portrait"?
Thanks,
Walter
This sounds like an example of EXIF only rotation. Which GE probably doesn't honour.
Some cameras etc, 'rotate' a image so its the right way up by setting a flag in the EXIF data. The raw JPG itself, is still in the landscape format.
A display (or convert) program, should hopefilly notice this 'rotation required' flag, and rotate the image.
But Google Earth probably doesnt honor it, so you are just seeing the baseline image as its actully stored (unrotated)
Recommend trying one of the applications mentioned here:

(many note they have automatic correction - so should "fix" your jpg files)
This is already an old thread, but I stumbled on the same problem. And did not find a solution for my situation. Eventually I found a way around, so I thought I'd share it here.
Basically the solution is to rotate the offending images twice, once 90° to the left and then back again.
What you had was an image with a width larger than the height, but with an orientation tag that tells an application to rotate it 90° (but Google Earth does not).
After rotating it twice it is an image with width and height switched, and an orientation tag that says not to rotate it.
Now any application, including Google Earth, will display it correctly.
I used ExifTool to write the tags for all my images to a CSV file, created a list from that with all the pictures to rotate, and used that list to tell IrfanView twice to rotate them.
I've got an Image with an overlay Canvas with some rectangles whose position is relative to image's size. The problem comes when I change the phone orientation, because image size changes (or at least, the renderization) but I can't manage to re-distribute the rectangles according to the new size, and the OrientationChanged event doesn't help me because it's fired before rendering the image (so all the rectangles go to (0,0))
Anyone can help me finding the correct event?
I'd either not use percentage widths or save them as exact values when first rendered/measured for one orientation. You can then adjust the dimensions relative to the orientation.
Update
If you can't get the exact values passed to you then you coudl load the image where teh user can't see it to measure it.
If you're getting the image and positions from an external source which always assumes a portrait orientation then why not just always display it as such in your app.
Finally got it!
The event I was looking for was the SizeChanged, I can't imagine how I didn't see it before...
