Package: archetypes.clippingimage
Image field forArchetypeswith different behavior at time of scaling.IntroductionArchtypes defaultImageFieldscales down the image until the whole image
fits into the given scale. It keeps it aspect ratio. I.e. scaling down a 400x300
image to a 200x200 scale result in a 200x150 image.Same withClippingImageFieldresults in a 200x200 image! It centers the
image horizontal or vertical and tries to keep as much as possible from the
original.Tested with Plone 3.3.x and Plone 4.Usage:FieldSpecify the sizes as documented for the classic Archetypes ImageField. If you
want specific scales to get clipped, add a field-propertycrop_scales=['image_large','other_scale']. It expects a list of scale
names to include into clipping.PatchBy includingpatch.zcmlin your packagearchetypes.clippingimagewill
patchProducts.Archetypes.Field.ImageFieldso it is able to generate
cropped scales.You can define which scales shall be cropped by adding a propertycrop_scalesto your ImageField:ImageField('image',
    sizes= {'large'   : (768, 768),
            'preview' : (400, 400),
            'listing' :  (16, 16),
            },
    crop_scales = ['listing'],
    ...Note that if you want to use clipped images within ATCTImage and haveplone.app.imaginginstalled you need to set a propertycrop_scalesatplone.app.blob.subtypes.image.SchemaExtender.fields[0].BlobIn case of using the patch everythings fine. No further action needed. If you
use the field, you need to include theblob.zcmlto make the fields scales
blobs.Copyrightwritten by Jens W. Klein, BlueDynamics Alliance, Klein & Partner KG, Austriahttp://bluedynamics.comContributions Harald Friessnegger and Peter Holzer.Changelog2.1use the format of original image for computing the crop. the field
used to convert everything to png which resulted in relatively large files
[fRiSi]2.0make plone.app.imaging and plone.app.blob aware. Works now with Plone 4.
[jensens]sizes can be a callable or a dictionary (instance method not supported)background: plone.app.imaging uses the sizes defined in imaging_properties in case sizes is a dictionary.
so you need to define sizes via a callable to make your custom sizes take effect.
[fRiSi]added monkeypatch for ImageField.scale to add croppingsupport to any ImageField
