plone.app.imaging 2.1.2

Introduction
This package tries to factor out and re-use the image scaling code from
Archetypes into a separate package in order to make it user-configurable
and add support for storing the image data into ZODB blobs.

Warning
Version 2.x is for Plone 5 only.

Installation
The easiest way to use this package is when working with installations
based on zc.buildout. Here you can simply add the package to your “eggs”
and “zcml” options, run buildout and restart your Plone instance.

Alternatively you can use the following configuration file to extend an
existing buildout:
[buildout]
extends = buildout.cfg

[instance]
eggs += plone.app.imaging
zcml += plone.app.imaging
After that you should be able to “quick-install” the package via the
“Add-on products” section of Plone’s configuration panel (“Site setup”).

New-style image scales
plone.app.imaging introduces new ways of using image scales in your
templates. There are several variants you can pick from depending on how
much flexibility/convenience you need:

The tag method generates a complete image tag:
<img tal:define="scales context/@@images"
tal:replace="structure python: scales.tag('image',
width=1200, height=800, direction='down')"
/>
While the first call requires the storage to load the image data
and extract information for scaling, consecutive calls are cheap
because the metadata is stored for each call signature.
The direction keyword-argument can be used to specify the
scaling direction. Additional parameters are rendered as element
attributes (typically: “title” and “alt”).

For tag generation using predefined scale names this would look like:
<img tal:define="scales context/@@images"
tal:replace="structure python: scales.tag('image', scale='mini')"
/>
This would use the predefined scale size “mini” to determine the desired
image dimensions, but still allow to pass in extra parameters.

The following traversal syntax is a short-cut for tag generation
for predefined image scales:
<img tal:replace="structure context/@@images/image/mini" />

The same syntax may be used for the original image:
<img tal:replace="structure context/@@images/image" />

The scale method returns an image scale object useful for
explicit tag generation:
<img tal:define="scales context/@@images;
thumbnail python: scales.scale('image', width=64, height=64);"
tal:condition="thumbnail"
tal:attributes="src thumbnail/url;
width thumbnail/width;
height thumbnail/height" />
This would create an up to 64 by 64 pixel scaled down version of the image
stored in the “image” field. It also allows for passing in addition
parameters support by plone.scale’s scaleImage function, e.g.
direction or quality.
Note that the scale method loads the actual image data into
memory on each invocation.

The image scale object also implements a tag method:
<img tal:define="scales context/@@images;
scale python: scale.scale('image', width=1200, height=800)"
tal:replace="structure scale/tag" />
However, it’s recommended to use the tag method of the image
scales view directly because it avoids loading the image into memory.

Scaled image direction
Three different scaling options are supported with the direction parameter.

up scaling scales the smallest dimension up to the required size
and crops the other dimension if needed.
down scaling starts by scaling the largest dimension to the required
size and crops the other dimension if needed.
thumbnail scales to the requested dimensions without cropping. The
resulting image may have a different size than requested. This option
requires both width and height to be specified. keep is accepted as
an alternative spelling for this option, but its use is deprecated.

Scaled image quality
The quality of scaled images can be controlled through the “Imaging” control
panel.
This will only take effect for images that have not been scaled yet. To
re-scale existing images with an updated quality setting, you’l need to go in
the ZMI > portal_atct > “Image scales” tab, and click “recreate”. This
may take a very long time!
