crp v0.0.2

crp

Crop image files or Buffers

Depends on node-canvas which has special build instructions as it requires Cairo to be installed on your system.

Related

crp shares the same API as rsz, except rsz is for resizing images rather than cropping. See also sz for simply obtaining the size of an image.

API

There is one method but multiple ways to use it:

crp(src, width, height, function (err, buf) { /* */ })

Where src is a String specifying the path to the image or a Buffer containing the image data, and buf is a Buffer containing the cropped image data.

crp(src, width, height, dst, function (err) { /* */ })

Where src is a String specifying the path to the image or a Buffer containing the image data, and dst is a String specifying the path to write the output file to.

crp(src, { width: w, height: h }, function (err, buf) { /* */ })

Where w and h are the width and height respectively, src is a String specifying the path to the image or a Buffer containing the image data, and buf is a Buffer containing the cropped image data.

crp(src, { width: w, height: h }, dst, function (err) { /* */ })

Where w and h are the width and height respectively, src is a String specifying the path to the image or a Buffer containing the image data, and dst is a String specifying the path to write the output file to.

Options

By default, crp will return a PNG Buffer or write a PNG file. You can change this when you pass an options object: { height: 100, width: 100, type: 'jpeg' }. You can also adjust the quality with a 'quality' property.

• 'height' (Number, required) the height of the cropped image
• 'width' (Number, required) the width of the cropped image
• 'type' (String, optional, default: 'png') set to 'jpeg' to return a JPEG Buffer or write a JPEG file.
• 'quality' (Number, optional) used when creating a JPEG, a number between 1 (lowest quality) and 100 (highest quality).

Example

var crp = require('crp')
  , fs  = require('fs')

crp('/path/to/nyancat.gif', 200, 350, function (err, buf) {
  fs.writeFileSync('/path/to/nyancat_200_350.png', buf)
})

// or

crp('/path/to/nyancat.gif', 200, 350, '/path/to/nyancat_200_350.png', function (err) {
})

// or

crp('/path/to/nyancat.gif', { width: 200, height: 350 }, function (err, buf) {
  fs.writeFileSync('/path/to/nyancat_200_350.png', buf)
})

// or

crp('/path/to/nyancat.gif', { width: 200, height: 350 }, '/path/to/nyancat_200_350.png', function (err) {
})

// or a jpeg

crp(
    '/path/to/avatar.png'
  , { width: 50, height: 50, type: 'jpeg', quality: 40 }
  , '/path/to/avatar_50_50.jpg'
  , function (err) {
      /* ... */
    }
)
