Picture control aspect ratio

[Bunny1]

Is their a way to keep a picture's aspect ratio in a picture control?

For example.

Code: Select all

Gui,Add,Picture,w475 h375,

If I make the W or H -1. the picture will stretch in that direction to it's original size. I want the control to be that size and the picture to keep it's width aspect ratio.

[toralf]

You have to specify one dimension and set the other to -1

I know. I've read the documentation several times.
I was hoping their was a way to keep the aspect ratio within a set control size.

[kon]

Maybe use WIA. The example (WIASample.ahk) even shows scaling an image for a picture control.

I do not understand. What do you mean by 'within a a set control size'? The aspect ratio of the picture is what it is. If you want to keep it the control has to have the same aspect ratio or it will adjust to that ratio.

Is there an easier way to get the original width and height? I just wanted to try justme's excellent new WIA lib.

I have a picture control that is h375 by w475. it can't be any bigger than that or it will start hitting other controls.
I haven't seen the height have any problem, but the width is stretched across the control and the picture is distorted.

I'll have another look at it. I spent about an hour and half yesterday trying to get it to work. I couldn't figure out how to get the filepath into it. the filepath is stored in %Successfuldownload% after a picture is downloaded with urldownloadtofile. the filepath changes each time a picture is download based on the title of the picture and username of the person that uploaded it.

[kon]

The example script I posted prompts the user for an image file useing FileSelectFile. The file path is stored in the ImgPath variable. This: ImgObj := WIA_LoadImage(ImgPath) loads the image and saves a reference to the image object into the ImgObj var. Note that there are no %% around the var since it is used in a function, and functions use expression syntax.

A bit of explanation about the example: It loads an image file into a WIA image object. Then the file's width/height are retrieved from the object. With a bit of math it calculates the x,y,w,h to use for the picture control. The picture will be displayed centered within the groupbox.

Thank you. that does look like what I want.
Maybe I'm being really stupid, but I can't seem to get it to show the picture.

This is the code I'm using.

I apologize for not mentioning this sooner, but I think WIA is for Windows Vista and later (probably won't work with XP?). Sorry if that is the problem and I have wasted your time.
Does my example script work for you?

Also, before the image is loaded, have you checked if Successfuldownload contains the path?

Code: Select all

Another thing. I noticed you changed the coordinates on this line: Gui, Add, GroupBox, x600 y5 w%GBW% h%GBH%.
In my example the groupbox is at x10 y10. This is important when calculating the x and y of the picture control:

Code: Select all

X := Round(GBW//2 - W//2 + 600)
Y := Round(GBH//2 - H//2 + 5)

I'm running windows 7 64bit
Yes, the example works.
It doesn't contain the path at that point. I used a message box to check and it was blank.
if I move the shortcut above the buttons the picture shows up, but I can only use the shortcut once and then I get a variables can only be used once error.
The else is if the pathtofolderSF variable does not contain error it will continue on to setup the buttons for the control panel. it may not be needed, but it worked, so I kept it. I've been improving the code as I learn more about autohotkey.

Here's another example.
Only use Gui, Add, Pic, x%GBX% y%GBY% vPic1 once to create the picture control.
To change the picture use GuiControl.
To adjust the picture location and dimensions use GuiControl, Move
I wrote a function to make calculating the image coordinates easier. Give the function the image path, the max W and H, and the X,Y,W,H of the area in which to display the image. It will return the X,Y,W,H to use with GuiControl, Move.

I got it working. thank you. I've got to tweak the groupbox size a little, but it's doing what I was looking for.

I changed the button setup to this.

Code: Select all

GBX := 600   ; Groupbox x
GBY := 5  ; Groupbox y
GBW := 476  ; Groupbox width
GBH := 376  ; Groupbox height

;ButtonS========================
x := 0
FileList := {}

I added this to the successful download section.

Code: Select all

Coords := GetScaledDimensions(Successfuldownload, 475, 375, GBX, GBY, GBW, GBH)    ; get image coordinates of image scaled to max 700x400
GuiControl, Move, Pic1, % "x" . Coords.X . " y" . Coords.Y . " w" . Coords.W . " h" . Coords.H      ; Move the picture control to the new coordinates
GuiControl,, Pic1, %Successfuldownload%    ; Put the new image into the picture control

If you want to use the WIA lib, there might be another way:

Code: Select all

#NoEnv
SetBatchLines, -1

Successfuldownload := "Test.jpg" ; you need to put in a valid image path here !!!

PicW := 475
PicH := 375
Gui, Margin, 20, 20
Gui, Add, Picture, w%PicW% h%PicH% hwndHPIC Border +0x020E ; important, set SS_CENTERIMAGE (0x0200) | SS_BITMAP (0x0E)
Gui, Add, Button, gLoadPic, Click here to load the picture!
Gui, Show, , WIA Test
Return

GuiClose:
Gui, Destroy
ExitApp

LoadPic:
Gui, +OwnDialogs
; Load the image
If !(ImgObj := WIA_LoadImage(Successfuldownload)) {
   MsgBox, 16, Error, Couldn't load %Successfuldownload%!
   Return
}
; Determine how to scale
If (ImgObj.Width - PicW) > (ImgObj.Height - PicH) {
   ScaleW := PicW
   ScaleH := 0
}
Else {
   ScaleW := 0
   ScaleH := PicH
}
; Scale the image
Scaled := WIA_ScaleImage(ImgObj, ScaleW, ScaleH)
; Get the bitmap data
PicObj := WIA_GetImageBitmap(Scaled)
; STM_SETIMAGE message: Set the control's image.
SendMessage, 0x172, 0, % PicObj.Handle, , ahk_id %HPIC%
; Delete the previous bitmap, if any
If (Errorevel) 
   DllCall("DeleteObject", "Ptr", ErrorLevel)
Return

#Include WIA.ahk

But it will center the image within the control.

Thanks just me! I tried doing it that way at first too. I was surprised that despite what the documentation says about ScaleImage preserving the aspect ratio, we still need to calculate whether height or width governs.
I didn't think to use +0x020E or DllCall("DeleteObject", "Ptr", ErrorLevel) when I attempted it. Thanks for demonstrating!
