Resizing with the pointer tool has these modifier specials: use with shift => resizes proportional use with option => resizes to square use with mac-cmd/win-nux-ctrl => crops Posssibly this is not what you want, because this operation only changes the display, not the size of the original imported image. So the size of the image in the stack is always the same. To make the *new size* to be 'persistent', that is new width => formattedWidth and new height => formattedHeight use set imagedata of img imgName to the imagedata of img imgName Here is the complete script I use for scale or fit incl. the above. -- pRetain is true or false (=persistence of new size) -- pImgID is the long id of an image -- pHow is one of f[actor],w[idth],h[eight],l[arger],s[maller],? -- pVal is a positive Number on scaleOrFitImage pRetain,pImgID,pHow,pVal lock screen; lock messages put the formattedWidth of pImgID into w put the formattedHeight of pImgID into h switch char 1 of pHow case "f" -- scale with factor pVal put pVal*w into w0 put pVal*h into h0 break case "w" -- fit width to pVal put pVal*h/w into h0 put pVal into w0 break case "h" -- fit height to pVal put pVal*w/h into w0 put pVal into h0 break case "l" -- fit max(width,height) to pVal if h > w then -- fit height to pVal put pVal*w/h into w0 put pVal into h0 else -- fit width to pVal put pVal*h/w into h0 put pVal into w0 end if break case "s" -- fit min(width,height) to pVal if h < w then -- fit height to pVal put pVal*w/h into w0 put pVal into h0 else -- fit width to pVal put pVal*h/w into h0 put pVal into w0 end if break default -- current width and height put the width of pImgID into w0 put the height of pImgID into h0 break end switch put the topleft of pImgID into TL set width of pImgID to w0 set height of pImgID to h0 set topleft of pImgID to TL if pRetain then # width => formattedWidth and height => formattedHeight set imagedata of pImgID to the imagedata of pImgID end if end scaleOrFitImage _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
