Thumbnail

The Thumbnail class is used when you want to have an image thumbnail for the media, regardless of what type the media is. If the media can not be converted to an image, a icon representing the file type will be returned.

Resize

To resize the media, use the Resize method.

        var client = ClientFactory.GetSdkClient();
        var thumbnail = client.Load<Thumbnail>(1223)
.Resize(120, 120, ResizeMode.ScaleToFill).SingleOrDefault();

The method takes three arguments:

width: The width of the resized media

height (optional): The height of the resized media

resizeMode (optional): In which way to resize the media. There are two alternatives:

ScaleToFit - Scales the media to fit inside the specified width and height, aspect ratio is kept. This is the default.

ScaleToFill - Scales the media to fill the specified width and height, aspect ratio is kept by cropping if necessary.

Note! ScaleToFill requires both width and height to be set.

Crop

To crop the media, use the Crop method.

var client = ClientFactory.GetSdkClient();
var thumbnail = client.Load<Thumbnail>(223).Crop(10, 20, 50, 50).FirstOrDefault();
if (thumbnail != null) {
    var html = string.Format("<img url=\"{0}\" width=\"{1}\" height=\"{2}\"/>", thumbnail.Url, thumbnail.Width,
                             thumbnail.Height);
}

The method takes four arguments:

X: The left coordinate where the crop starts

Y: The top coordinate where the crop starts

Width: The width of the crop area

Height: The height of the crop area
