NAME Catalyst::View::GD::Thumbnail - Catalyst view to resize images for thumbnails. SYNOPSIS Create a thumbnail view: script/myapp_create view Thumbnail Thumbnail Then in your controller: sub thumbnail :Local :Args(1) { my ($self, $c, $image_file_path) = @_; $c->stash->{x} = 100; # Create a 100px wide thumbnail #or $c->stash->{y} = 100; # Create a 100px tall thumbnail $c->stash->{image} = $image_file_path; $c->forward('View::Thumbnail'); } DESCRIPTION Catalyst::View::GD::Thumbnail resizes images to produce thumbnails, with options to set the desired x or y dimensions. Uses the GD image library for those who are already using something more advanced than Imager. Options The view is controlled by setting the following values in the stash: image Contains the file path for the full-size source image. This is a mandatory option. x The width (in pixels) of the thumbnail. This is optional, but at least one of the "x" or "y" parameters must be set. y The height (in pixels) of the thumbnail. This is optional, but at least one of the "x" or "y" parameters must be set. Image formats The generated thumbnails will always be produced in the same format (PNG, JPG, etc) as the source image. Catalyst::View::GD::Thumbnail uses the Image::Resize module to crop and resize images, so it accept any image format supported by *Image::Resize*: bmp, gif, jpeg, png, xbm, xpm. Please see the Image::Resize documentation for more details and installation notes.
