objectfit

This is a suite of functions for fitting (possibly overflowing depending on the technique) one rectangular shape into another rectangular region, preserving aspect ratio.

Example Usage

Displayed below is an example of drawing an image on a canvas using the objectfit/contain function. It should be noted that as the functions all use the same function signature, objectfit/cover could be used in it's place.

// examples/contain.js
const fit = require('../contain');
const crel = require('crel');
const img = crel('img', { src: 'http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/46/Plasma_globe_60th.jpg/1024px-Plasma_globe_60th.jpg' });
const canvas = crel('canvas');
const css = require('fdom/css');
const context = canvas.getContext('2d');

// set document.body styling
[ ['margin', 0], ['overflow', 'hidden'] ].forEach(css(document.body));

function redraw() {
  var bounds = fit(
    [0, 0, window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight],
    [0, 0, img.width, img.height]
  );

  canvas.width = window.innerWidth;
  canvas.height = window.innerHeight;
  context.drawImage.apply(context, [img].concat(bounds));
}

// redraw on image load and window resize
img.onload = redraw;
window.onresize = redraw;

document.body.appendChild(canvas);

Reference

All objectfit functions use the following function signature:

fit(container, => subject) => [x, y, width, height]

Implementations

contain

Use letterboxing or pillarboxing to resize an object to fit within another containing rect, without affecting the aspect ratio.

cover

Ensure the subject completely fills the container leaving no whitespace visible in the container.
