Pageimage::crop() method

Create a crop and return it as a new Pageimage.

Example

// Create a crop starting 100 pixels from left, 200 pixels from top
// at 150 pixels wide and 100 pixels tall
$image = $page->images->first();
$crop = $image->crop(100, 200, 150, 100);

// Output the crop
echo "<img src='$crop->url' />";

Usage

// basic usage
$pageimage = $pageimage->crop(int $x, int $y, int $width, int $height);

// usage with all arguments
$pageimage = $pageimage->crop(int $x, int $y, int $width, int $height, array $options = []);

Arguments

NameType(s)Description

Return value


Hooking Pageimage::crop(…)

You can add your own hook events that are executed either before or after the Pageimage::crop(…) method is executed. Examples of both are included below. A good place for hook code such as this is in your /site/ready.php file.

Hooking before

The 'before' hooks are called immediately before each Pageimage::crop(…) method call is executed. This type of hook is especially useful for modifying arguments before they are sent to the method.

$this->addHookBefore('Pageimage::crop', function(HookEvent $event) {
  // Get the object the event occurred on, if needed
  $Pageimage = $event->object;

  // Get values of arguments sent to hook (and optionally modify them)
  $x = $event->arguments(0);
  $y = $event->arguments(1);
  $width = $event->arguments(2);
  $height = $event->arguments(3);
  $options = $event->arguments(4);

  /* Your code here, perhaps modifying arguments */

  // Populate back arguments (if you have modified them)
  $event->arguments(0, $x);
  $event->arguments(1, $y);
  $event->arguments(2, $width);
  $event->arguments(3, $height);
  $event->arguments(4, $options);
});

Hooking after

The 'after' hooks are called immediately after each Pageimage::crop(…) method call is executed. This type of hook is especially useful for modifying the value that was returned by the method call.

$this->addHookAfter('Pageimage::crop', function(HookEvent $event) {
  // Get the object the event occurred on, if needed
  $Pageimage = $event->object;

  // An 'after' hook can retrieve and/or modify the return value
  $return = $event->return;

  // Get values of arguments sent to hook (if needed)
  $x = $event->arguments(0);
  $y = $event->arguments(1);
  $width = $event->arguments(2);
  $height = $event->arguments(3);
  $options = $event->arguments(4);

  /* Your code here, perhaps modifying the return value */

  // Populate back return value, if you have modified it
  $event->return = $return;
});

“To Drupal, or to ProcessWire? The million dollar choice. We decided to make an early switch to PW. And in retrospect, ProcessWire was probably the best decision we made. Thanks are due to ProcessWire and the amazing system and set of modules that are in place.” —Unni Krishnan, Founder of PigtailPundits
