[ACCEPTED]-Resize Image to fit in bounding box-image-manipulation

Find which is smaller: MaxWidth / w or MaxHeight / h Then multiply 8 w and h by that number

Explanation:

You need to find the 7 scaling factor which makes the image fit.

To 6 find the scaling factor, s, for the width, then 5 s must be such that: s * w = MaxWidth. Therefore, the 4 scaling factor is MaxWidth / w.

Similarly for height.

The 3 one that requires the most scaling (smaller 2 s) is the factor by which you must scale 1 the whole image.

Based on Eric's suggestion I'd do something 3 like this:

private static Size ExpandToBound(Size image, Size boundingBox)
{       
    double widthScale = 0, heightScale = 0;
    if (image.Width != 0)
        widthScale = (double)boundingBox.Width / (double)image.Width;
    if (image.Height != 0)
        heightScale = (double)boundingBox.Height / (double)image.Height;                

    double scale = Math.Min(widthScale, heightScale);

    Size result = new Size((int)(image.Width * scale), 
                        (int)(image.Height * scale));
    return result;
}

I might have gone a bit overboard 2 on the casts, but I was just trying to preserve 1 precision in the calculations.

To perform an aspect fill instead of an 8 aspect fit, use the larger ratio instead. That 7 is, change Matt's code from Math.Min to 6 Math.Max.

(An aspect fill leaves none of 5 the bounding box empty but may put some 4 of the image outside the bounds, while an 3 aspect fit leaves none of the image outside 2 the bounds but may leave some of the bounding 1 box empty.)

Tried Mr. Warren's code, but it didn't produce 4 reliable results.

For example,

ExpandToBound(new Size(640,480), new Size(66, 999)).Dump();
// {Width=66, Height=49}

ExpandToBound(new Size(640,480), new Size(999,50)).Dump();
// {Width=66, Height=50}

You can see, height 3 = 49 and height = 50 in another.

Here's mine 2 (based version of Mr. Warren's code) without 1 the discrepancy and a slight refactor:

// Passing null for either maxWidth or maxHeight maintains aspect ratio while
//        the other non-null parameter is guaranteed to be constrained to
//        its maximum value.
//
//  Example: maxHeight = 50, maxWidth = null
//    Constrain the height to a maximum value of 50, respecting the aspect
//    ratio, to any width.
//
//  Example: maxHeight = 100, maxWidth = 90
//    Constrain the height to a maximum of 100 and width to a maximum of 90
//    whichever comes first.
//
private static Size ScaleSize( Size from, int? maxWidth, int? maxHeight )
{
   if ( !maxWidth.HasValue && !maxHeight.HasValue ) throw new ArgumentException( "At least one scale factor (toWidth or toHeight) must not be null." );
   if ( from.Height == 0 || from.Width == 0 ) throw new ArgumentException( "Cannot scale size from zero." );

   double? widthScale = null;
   double? heightScale = null;

   if ( maxWidth.HasValue )
   {
       widthScale = maxWidth.Value / (double)from.Width;
   }
   if ( maxHeight.HasValue )
   {
       heightScale = maxHeight.Value / (double)from.Height;
   }

   double scale = Math.Min( (double)(widthScale ?? heightScale),
                            (double)(heightScale ?? widthScale) );

   return new Size( (int)Math.Floor( from.Width * scale ), (int)Math.Ceiling( from.Height * scale ) );
}

Following code produces more accurate results:

    public static Size CalculateResizeToFit(Size imageSize, Size boxSize)
    {
        // TODO: Check for arguments (for null and <=0)
        var widthScale = boxSize.Width / (double)imageSize.Width;
        var heightScale = boxSize.Height / (double)imageSize.Height;
        var scale = Math.Min(widthScale, heightScale);
        return new Size(
            (int)Math.Round((imageSize.Width * scale)),
            (int)Math.Round((imageSize.Height * scale))
            );
    }

Python code, but maybe it will point you 1 in the right direction:

def fit_within_box(box_width, box_height, width, height):
    """
    Returns a tuple (new_width, new_height) which has the property
    that it fits within box_width and box_height and has (close to)
    the same aspect ratio as the original size
    """
    new_width, new_height = width, height
    aspect_ratio = float(width) / float(height)

    if new_width > box_width:
        new_width = box_width
        new_height = int(new_width / aspect_ratio)

    if new_height > box_height:
        new_height = box_height
        new_width = int(new_height * aspect_ratio)

    return (new_width, new_height)

Über simple. :) The issue is to find a factor 5 by which you need to multiply width and 4 height. The solution is to try using one 3 and if it doesn't fit, use the other. So...

private float ScaleFactor(Rectangle outer, Rectangle inner)
{
    float factor = (float)outer.Height / (float)inner.Height;
    if ((float)inner.Width * factor > outer.Width) // Switch!
        factor = (float)outer.Width / (float)inner.Width;
    return factor;
}

To 2 fit picture (pctRect) to window (wndRect) call 1 like this

float factor=ScaleFactor(wndRect, pctRect); // Outer, inner
RectangleF resultRect=new RectangleF(0,0,pctRect.Width*factor,pctRect.Height*Factor)

Based on the previous answers, here's a 1 Javascript function:

/**
* fitInBox
* Constrains a box (width x height) to fit in a containing box (maxWidth x maxHeight), preserving the aspect ratio
* @param width      width of the box to be resized
* @param height     height of the box to be resized
* @param maxWidth   width of the containing box
* @param maxHeight  height of the containing box
* @param expandable (Bool) if output size is bigger than input size, output is left unchanged (false) or expanded (true)
* @return           {width, height} of the resized box
*/
function fitInBox(width, height, maxWidth, maxHeight, expandable) {
    "use strict";

    var aspect = width / height,
        initWidth = width,
        initHeight = height;

    if (width > maxWidth || height < maxHeight) {
        width = maxWidth;
        height = Math.floor(width / aspect);
    }

    if (height > maxHeight || width < maxWidth) {
        height = maxHeight;
        width = Math.floor(height * aspect);
    }

    if (!!expandable === false && (width >= initWidth || height >= initHeight)) {
        width = initWidth;
        height = initHeight;
    }

    return {
        width: width,
        height: height
    };
}

Python code for this task based on Jason's 3 answer with fix for upscaling and argument 2 reorder for conventional argument passing 1 with img.shape.

def fit_within_box(box_height, box_width, height, width):
    """
    Returns a tuple (new_width, new_height) which has the property
    that it fits within box_width and box_height and has (close to)
    the same aspect ratio as the original size
    """
    new_width, new_height = width, height
    aspect_ratio = float(width) / float(height)

    if new_width > box_width or new_height < box_height:
        new_width = box_width
        new_height = int(new_width / aspect_ratio)

    if new_height > box_height or new_width < box_width:
        new_height = box_height
        new_width = int(new_height * aspect_ratio)

    return new_height, new_width
