Hi,
I have downloaded the samples for VB.NET applications and I cannot work out how I would make the selection tool, rubberband a fixed ratio.

The theory is that I only need 4 sizes, for a standard crop I would want 4|6 which would be saved @ 400 x 600 96ppi for articles, blogging or webuse.

The web PhotoEditor already has the options of pre-setting the ratios in the xml, the user can then select an area and then crop, this is what I need for a desktop application, where the user opens an image, prepares and crops to pre-defined sizes on thier PC, when saved is at the pre-set set size and resolution, and then the user uploads the images to their blog at web size and quality or uses them in an article.

Hello David,

I hope the following code helps you:
Code:
Private rect As Aurigma.GraphicsMill.WinControls.RectangleRubberband
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        BitmapViewer1.Bitmap = New Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Bitmap("c:/test.jpg")
        rect = New Aurigma.GraphicsMill.WinControls.RectangleRubberband()
        rect.Rectangle = New System.Drawing.Rectangle(BitmapViewer1.Bitmap.Width / 4, BitmapViewer1.Bitmap.Height / 4, 400, 600)
        rect.Ratio = 2 / 3
        rect.ResizeMode = Aurigma.GraphicsMill.WinControls.ResizeMode.Proportional
        BitmapViewer1.Rubberband = rect
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        BitmapViewer1.Bitmap.Transforms.Crop(rect.Rectangle)
    End Sub

Hi Tamila,
I am only working with the Main Example for one day, so your answer is beyond my skills for now, but I have resolved it by creating two variables, a sub and a few lines of code.

The theory for use is that for web blogs, articles and templates, there is no need for big hi-resolution images that can be stolen and upsized.

Private cropWidth As Integer
Private cropHeight As Integer

I used code from the main examples and here is how I done it

Code:

Private Sub InitializeForm()   
  <...
  >...
  ' Added lines to standard code
  ' Default to Portrait
  cropWidth = 400
  cropHeight = 600
 <...
  >...
End Sub 

Private Sub SetCropRatio(ByVal width As Integer, ByVal height As Integer)
        cropWidth = width
        cropHeight = height
        bitmapViewerMainView.Rubberband = rectangleRubberbandExample
        bitmapViewerMainView.Navigator = Nothing
        rectangleRubberbandExample.Ratio = cropWidth / cropHeight
        UnpushToolBarButtons()
        CropToolStripMenuItem.Enabled = (rectangleRubberbandExample.Rectangle.Width > 0) AndAlso (rectangleRubberbandExample.Rectangle.Height > 0)
End Sub

Private Sub cmdCrop1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdCrop1.Click
   'Portrait      
   SetCropRatio(400, 600)
End Sub

Private Sub cmdCrop2_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdCrop2.Click
   'Landscape        
   SetCropRatio(600, 400)
End Sub

Private Sub cmdCrop3_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdCrop3.Click
   ' Square        
   SetCropRatio(600, 600)
End Sub

Private Sub cmdCrop4_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdCrop4.Click
   'Letterbox     
   SetCropRatio(600, 300)
End Sub

Private Sub cmdCrop5_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdCrop5.Click
   'Panoramic 
   SetCropRatio(800, 300)
End Sub

Private Sub cmdCrop6_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdCrop6.Click
  'Blog Page Header
   SetCropRatio(800, 200)
End Sub

Private Sub cmdCrop7_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdCrop7.Click
    'Crop from example and new call to Resize        
    If (rectangleRubberbandExample.Rectangle.Width > 0) AndAlso _
        (rectangleRubberbandExample.Rectangle.Height > 0) Then

            Dim cropRectangle As Rectangle = rectangleRubberbandExample.Rectangle
            
            rectangleRubberbandExample.Rectangle = New Rectangle(0, 0, _
            rectangleRubberbandExample.Rectangle.Width, _
            rectangleRubberbandExample.Rectangle.Height)

            ApplyTransform(New Crop(cropRectangle))
            'New code to resize
            ApplyTransform(New Resize(cropWidth, cropHeight, InterpolationMode.MediumQuality))
        End If
End Sub


Regards

David (it looks very much like I will be making a purchase in two weeks going by my initial testing)
