imgResource

The imgResource function relates to modifications of pictures. Its main usage is the property file of the IMAGE object.

This, for example, allows an image to be resized:

temp.myImage = IMAGE
temp.myImage {
  file = toplogo.gif
  file.width = 200
  file.height = 300
}

It is also possible to set minimum or maximum dimensions:

temp.myImage = IMAGE
temp.myImage {
  file = toplogo.gif

  # maximum size
  file.maxW = 200
  file.maxH = 300

  # minimum size
  file.minW = 100
  file.minH = 120
}

imgResource also provides direct access to ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick features:

temp.myImage = IMAGE
temp.myImage {
  file = toplogo.gif
  file.params = -rotate 90
}
