This a thumbnail maker. Thumbnails are smaller versions of the original image/graphic/picture and are used for preview purposes, where bigger images can take a long time to load. They are also used in image galleries to preview a lot of images at a time.

This module also has the capability to add information strips about the original image. Original images size (in bytes) and resolution & mime type can be added to the thumbnails upper and lower parts. This feature can be useful for web software (image galleries or forums).

This is a Yet Another type of module. There are several other thumbnail modules on CPAN, but they simply dont have the features I need, so this module is written to increase the thumbnail population on CPAN.

The module can raise an exception if something goes wrong. So, you may have to use an eval block to catch them.

SYNOPSIS

use GD::Image::Thumbnail;

my $img = GD::Image->new(100,20);

my $thm = $img->thumbnail; # same as { factor => 0.20 }
my $thm = $img->thumbnail($n); # same as { side => $n }

my $thm = $img->thumbnail({ factor => 0.25 });
my $thm = $img->thumbnail({ factor => 0.25, small => 1 });

my $thm = $img->thumbnail({ side => $n });
my $thm = $img->thumbnail({ side => $n, small => 1 });

my $thm = $img->thumbnail({ w => $w });
my $thm = $img->thumbnail({ h => $h });
my $thm = $img->thumbnail({ w => $w, h => $h });

my $thm = $img->thumbnail({ w => $w, small => 1 });
my $thm = $img->thumbnail({ h => $h, small => 1 });
my $thm = $img->thumbnail({ w => $w, h => $h, small => 1 });
thumb() ^
thumb() is shortcut for thumbnail() - useful for people who like to bite their nails :)
$img->thumbnail(@thm_args)
and
$img->thumb(@thm_args);
are doing the same thing

OPTIONS

factor => $n

This makes a thumbnail $n (0.20 by default) times the size of the original. Only a two decimal place number between 0 and 1 are allowed. If a factor is given side, h, and w are all ignored

side => $n

Makes the side that will result in a larger thumbnail $n pixels (or opposite if small => 1). If side is given then h and w are ignored.

w => $x and h => $y

You can specify one or both of these. If only one is given it makes that side that dimention. If you specify both, the side that will result in a larger thumbnail (based on the images orientation and *not* the values of w and h if different), is used (or opposite if small => 1).

small => 1

If true make the images the smallest possible. This will round down instead of up when rounding is necessary and will help decide which side gets set to the given value.

$img->thumbnail(10); # 100 x 25 image becomes 40 x 10
$img->thumbnail({ side => 10, small => 1}); # 100 x 25 image becomes 10 x 2
resample => 1

If true use copyResampled() instead of copyResized() See GDs documentation about the difference. This can also be turned on by specifying a true value as the second argument:

$img->thumbnail($n, 1);
$img->thumbnail({ factor => $n }, 1);

Generates thumbnails from a folder of images.


Options include thumbnail format, dimensions, and filename prefix. Requires ImageMagick to be installed.
