Titanium ImageFactory Module

Ti.ImageFactory provides a set of image transformation functions including the ability to scale, crop, and compress images. Additionally, this module offers the functionality of adding alpha channels and transparent borders.

Getting Started

View the Using Titanium Modules document for instructions on getting started with using this module in your application.

Accessing the Ti.ImageFactory Module

To access this module from JavaScript, you would do the following:

var ImageFactory = require('ti.imagefactory');

Methods

imageWithRotation(blob, options)

Creates a new image by creating a copy of the given image that is rotated.

Arguments

• Image blob[blob]: Image to transform
• Options[dictionary]: A dictionary specifying the options for the transformation
  • degrees[int]: The degrees to rotate the image

imageWithRoundedCorner(blob, options)

Creates a new image by creating a copy of the given image with rounded corners.

Arguments

• Image blob[blob]: Image to transform

  • Android: format [int]: The output format of the image: either ImageFactory.PNG or ImageFactory.JPEG (default: ImageFactory.JPEG).
  • Android: quality[float]: The quality of the resulting JPEG image, expressed as a value from 0.0 to 1.0. The value 0.0 represents the maximum compression (or lowest quality) while the value 1.0 represents the least compression (or best quality). (default: 0.7).

imageAsThumbnail(blob, options)

Creates a new image by creating a copy of the given image that is squared to the thumbnail size.

Arguments

• Image blob[blob]: Image to transform
• Options[dictionary]: A dictionary specifying the options for the transformation

    • imagefactory.QUALITY_DEFAULT
    • imagefactory.QUALITY_NONE
    • imagefactory.QUALITY_LOW
    • imagefactory.QUALITY_MEDIUM
    • imagefactory.QUALITY_HIGH
  • Android: quality[float]: The quality of the resulting JPEG image, expressed as a value from 0.0 to 1.0. The value 0.0 represents the maximum compression (or lowest quality) while the value 1.0 represents the least compression (or best quality). (default: 0.7)
  • Android: dither[boolean]: Indicates if dithering should be applied while scaling. May provide better quality (default: true)

• Options[dictionary]: A dictionary specifying the options for the transformation
  • width[int]: The width of the new image (default: image width)
  • height[int]: The height of the new image (default: image height)
  • iOS: hires[boolean]: Create a hires image (for Retina displays only)
  • iOS: quality[int]: The interpolation quality. One of the following constants (default: imagefactory.QUALITY_HIGH)
    • imagefactory.QUALITY_DEFAULT
    • imagefactory.QUALITY_NONE
    • imagefactory.QUALITY_LOW
    • imagefactory.QUALITY_MEDIUM
    • imagefactory.QUALITY_HIGH
  • Android. format [int]: The output format of the image: either ImageFactory.PNG or ImageFactory.JPEG (default: ImageFactory.JPEG)
  • quality[float]: The quality of the resulting JPEG image, expressed as a value from 0.0 to 1.0. The value 0.0 represents the maximum compression (or lowest quality) while the value 1.0 represents the least compression (or best quality). (default: 0.7)

imageAsCropped(blob, options)
