RE: Re: Images and PDF:API2

I don't work too much with graphics, where needed, I resize with image magik
before I pull the file into a pdf.

 

PDF::API2 has a clip call that would hid everything not exposed, I'v never
tryied using it. I've always used a white rectangle when I need to hide
something.

 

If you want to see Image::Magik code that will resize an image to a bounding
box let me know I'll email it outside this group.

Thanks for the tip. Do you know how the scale option works? Or maybe 
if I tell you want I want to happen you can give me some pointers

I want center an image and have the height be a particular size and 
the width be proportional to that. If it is possible I would like to 
crop the extra width if any, but I an always draw a white box over 
the extra width if need be.
