Rails Helper Faux Crop

Fork on Github

This plugins resizes and positions the image inside a container to act as if it had been cropped. It finds the largest centered square area on the original image and fits it into the thumbnail wrapper. You can also pass crop coordinates as you would do with an image processor.

If you rather render the necessary markup from a jquery plugin, check JqueryFauxCrop



example A
example B
crop_x:40
crop_y:140
crop_size:130


Basic Usage: Centered thumbnail

      
      <%= faux_crop(
        "example_image.jpg", # image path
        800, # image width
        406, # image height
        200 # target size
        ) %>

Using Crop Coordinates

      
      <%= faux_crop(
        "example_image.jpg", # image path
        800, # image width
        406, # image height
        200, # target size
        40,  # crop x offset
        140, # crop y offset
        130  # crop size
        ) %>
