[dokuwiki] Re: Syntax for image cropping

Hi

after some discussion on IRC I implemented variant a) because of the
following reasons:

- unproportional scaling is nearly never used by anyone
- if it is used then just to for forcing an equal height on images
  where a few pixels distortion aren't visible
- people don't need to learn any new syntax and it behaves more like one
  would expect (nobody expects image distortions)
- implementing this variant is the simplest option ;-)

No. You never could do that (except in the gallery plugin which is a
completely different case). When width and height were given it always
scaled into that size. Width and height were not a boundary box. That's
why nobody ever used it.

correct. not possible. but isn't that much needed with the new cropping
in place anymore.
