[jQuery] Re: Polygon
I know it seems stupid but the reality of the project is to select a portion of the screen with a polygon. If the portion of the screen needed is a square at an angle (let's say the window of a house), I need to place each point at each corner of the window.

[jQuery] Re: Polygon
Oh, sorry, I was talking about myself. Rotation is absolutely plausible :) Unfortunately it seems none of the current plugins support it, but it shouldn't be that difficult to hack something from jCrop using an image map and modify accordingly the server script. Would be impossible to have a preview like jCrop does though, unless you continually reload it from the server. If this is supposed to be used on an intranet or some controlled enviroment, Safari/Chrome support CSS3 rotation transform, that could help. cheers, Ricardo On Oct 22, 1:48 pm, Sébastien Lachance [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I know it seems stupid but the reality of the project is to select a portion of the screen with a polygon.
