NAME

Catalyst::View::GD::Thumbnail - Catalyst view to resize images for thumbnails

DESCRIPTION

Catalyst::View::GD::Thumbnail resizes images to produce thumbnails, with options to set the desired x or y dimensions.

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.
