Size Filters

Thumbnails

The built-in thumbnail filter performs thumbnail transformations (which includes scaling and potentially cropping operations). This filter exposed a number of thumbnail options which may be used to configure its behavior.

Example configuration:

        # app/config/config.yml

liip_imagine:
    filter_sets:

        # name our filter set "my_thumb_filter"
        my_thumb_filter:
            filters:

                # use and setup the "thumbnail" filter
                thumbnail:

                    # set the thumbnail size to "32x32" pixels
                    size: [32, 32]

                    # crop the input image, if required
                    mode: outbound
    

Thumbnail Options

mode: string: Sets the desired resize method: 'outbound' crops the image as required, while 'inset' performs a non-cropping relative resize.
size: int[]: Sets the generated thumbnail size as an integer array containing the dimensions as width and height values.
allow_upscale: bool: Toggles allowing image up-scaling when the image is smaller than the desired thumbnail size.

Fixed size

The built-in fixed filter performs thumbnail transformations (which includes scaling and potentially cropping operations). This filter exposed a number of fixed options which may be used to configure its behavior. Unlike the thumbnail filter, the fixed filter supports upscale and you always get a fixed-size image.

        my_fixed_filter:
            filters:

                # use and setup the "fixed" filter
                fixed:

                    # set the fixed size to "120x90" pixels
                    width: 120
                    height: 90
    

Fixed Options

width: int: Sets the "desired width" which initiates a proportional scale operation that up- or down-scales until the image width matches this value.
height: int: Sets the "desired height" which initiates a proportional scale operation that up- or down-scales until the image height matches this value.

Cropping Images

The built-in crop filter performs sizing transformations (which includes cropping operations). This filter exposed a number of crop options which may be used to configure its behavior.

            filters:

                # use and setup the "crop" filter
                crop:

                    # set the size of the cropping area
                    size: [ 300, 600 ]

                    # set the starting coordinates of the crop
                    start: [ 040, 160 ]
    

Crop Options

size: int[]: Sets the crop size as an integer array containing the dimensions as width and height values.
start: int[]: Sets the top, left-post anchor coordinates where the crop operation starts.

Relative Resize

The built-in relative_resize filter performs sizing transformations (specifically relative resizing). This filter exposed a number of relative resize options which may be used to configure its behavior.

                    scale: 2.5
    

Tip

The "relative resize" filter options map directly to the methods of the BoxInterface interface provided by the Imagine Library.

Relative Resize Options

heighten: float: Sets the "desired height" which initiates a proportional scale operation that up- or down-scales until the image height matches this value.
widen: float: Sets the "desired width" which initiates a proportional scale operation that up- or down-scales until the image width matches this value.
increase: float: Sets the "desired additional size" which initiates a scale operation computed by adding this value to all image sides.
scale: float: Sets the "ratio multiple" which initiates a proportional scale operation computed by multiplying all image sides by this value.
