Shrink Image (JavaScript)

This function shrinks an image, so its dimensions are no bigger than the maximum dimensions you define. // get new dimensions so it fits within the maximum // o = original dimensions / image, m = maximum dimensions function shrink(o, m) { // r = resized var r = {width: o.width, height: o.height}; // if an image, rather than an object, resize it if(o.nodeName && o.nodeName.toLowerCase() == "img") r = o; if(r.width > m.width) { r.height = r.height * (m.width / r.width); r.width = m.width; if(r.height > m.height) { r.width = r.width * (m.height / r.height); r.height = m.height; } } else if(r.height > m.height) { r.width = r.width * (m.height / r.height); r.height = m.height; } return r; } To use, simply supply the image and the dimensions to constrain it to: var image = document.getElementById("image"); var max = {width: 1024, ...

iTextSharp: Generating a Basic PDF file (ASP.NET/C#)

iTextSharp is free library for .NET that allows you to create PDF documents. It can be used to dynamically create PDF's which can be streamed to the user.

Download itextsharp-3.0.10-dll.zip (latest version as of 08 Feb 2006) and save the dll in the archive to your websites bin directory. Here is a basic sample of creating a PDF (more complex samples may follow in future posts). BasicPDF.ashx <%@ WebHandler Language="C#" Class="MyNamespace.BasicPDF" %> using System; using System.IO; using System.Web; using iTextSharp.text; using iTextSharp.text.pdf; namespace MyNamespace { public class BasicPDF: IHttpHandler { public bool IsReusable { get { return true; } } /// <summary> /// Font used for any hyperlinks added to the PDF /// </summary> private Font LinkFont { get ...
