| Post subject: | migradoc add image |
Hi I add images to my migradoc pdf using this code: Code: section.AddImage(fileName); This works great, except big images are only displayed partly inside the PDF (a part is outside the page and not displayed because the image doesn't fit the page (it's too big)). How can I add an image to a migradoc PDF that is resized to fit the page perfectly while retaining the original image dimensions (width and heigth). thx |

Set either the image height or the image width and the aspect ratio will be maintained.If you see both width and height the image will be stretched to fill the region. |

Thanks this works! But now I have another problem: I want to check if height or width of the image is too big to fit on a page (all images have different height and width). In order to adjust the height or width. I put my image in the pdf with this code: Code: Image image = section.AddImage(fileName); image.Height = "10cm"; image.LockAspectRatio = true; Can somebody give me a code line that does this: "if image's height is bigger then page's height" (same for width) Thanks! |

Hi 1) I use migradoc 2) I want to use a full page as target. How to know the dimensions? Please give me some example migradoc code. I'm a beginner! |

- I use standard migradoc examples. What page size do I have then? I didn't change anything. If it's A4, what's its height and width in cm? - I add images using migradoc: Code: Image image = section.AddImage(fileName); image.Height = "10cm"; Can I use image.Height to get the height of an image in cm and compare this to the height of a page? Or can I only use it for setting the height in cm (not reading the height from the image in cm)? I prefer not to use pdfsharp, it's too complicated for me. |

Can you give me 1 code line please? How to get the height and width of the image (in cm) using the class you say? I just want to compare this with the size of A4. thx |

You can query the pixel dimensions and also the DPI values. This allows you to calculate the dimensions in inches, cm, and other units.Not all image files include DPI values and the real-world dimensions of those images are not known - DPI values will be standard values in those cases. In my experience it is enough to query the aspect ratio of the images. |

I compare with the page to see if it's bigger then the page's height or width. Most of my images are. I need to find if the image's height or width doesn't fit on 1 page. Please give me code that does all things you say. I don't know how to calculate cm ... I just want to find out if my image has too big width or height to fit on a page, in order to make it smaller. You must realise some people are no experts. You talk to me as I'm a professional software developer. So many answers but nobody gives me a single code line that gives me image's height or width in cm. |

Dimensions in cm are overrated. Some pictures have 50 by 50 pixel and 50 by 50 inches, some pictures have 5000 by 5000 pixels and 1 by 1 inch. I'd resize them to fit the space. I gave you links that show code. I don't have time to write code to solve your particular problem. Maybe someone else will. Multiplying the pixel size with the DPI value will give you the size in inches. Divide that by 2.54 to get the size in cm. "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day.
