Hi to all.

Is there any automatic way to crop the image when it's going to be printed so it'd fill the whole paper? In example, if we're going to print an image with an aspect ratio of 4:3 in a paper of 4x6" (10x15 cm), the ImageFitMode can fit the image to the paper so the whole image fits in the paper, appearing white margins because of the difference of aspect ratio. Is there any way to avoid this, so the image fills all the paper, cropping the parts of the image that don't fit in? The standard ImageFitMode.CropToFit doesn't suit us because we need the picture to be resized to fit in the paper.

This is a picture of an example:

Thanks for your time.

Hello Carlos,

Try to use ImageFitMode.ResizeToFill, I think that is what you need.

Thanks, Alex, but the image posted in the example was made with ResizeToFill. What I want is to resize the picture (preserving the aspect ratio) so won't appear white bands at the sides. It's a crop fitting one side of the picture to the size of the paper and cutting out the parts that doesn't fits in.

Is there any way to make this when printing?

Thanks again.

Hello Carlos,

Yeap, it seems that we have some inconsistent behaviour with print modes. Here is small code snippet which produces the desired result. It prints image on the default printer without any margins.
Code:
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	Aurigma.GraphicsMill.WinControls.ImagePrintDocument doc = new Aurigma.GraphicsMill.WinControls.ImagePrintDocument();
	doc.Source = new Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Bitmap(@"E:\Pictures\TestSamples\Jpeg\Large.jpg");
	doc.PlacementMode = Aurigma.GraphicsMill.WinControls.PlacementMode.SingleImage;
	doc.PrintOptions.ImageFitMode = Aurigma.GraphicsMill.WinControls.ImageFitMode.ResizeToFill;
	
	doc.QueryImage += new Aurigma.GraphicsMill.WinControls.QueryImageEventHandler(doc_QueryImage);

	doc.DefaultPageSettings.Margins = new System.Drawing.Printing.Margins(0, 0, 0, 0);
	doc.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = false;
	
	doc.Print();
}

void doc_QueryImage(object sender, Aurigma.GraphicsMill.WinControls.QueryImageEventArgs e)
{
	Aurigma.GraphicsMill.WinControls.ImagePrintDocument doc = (Aurigma.GraphicsMill.WinControls.ImagePrintDocument)sender;

	e.PrintPlaceholder.Location = new Point(0, 0);
	e.PrintPlaceholder.Size = doc.DefaultPageSettings.Bounds.Size;	
}
