NAME
Vips::Native - Very light vips wrapper for making thumbnails
SYNOPSIS
use Vips::Native;
smart-resize("t/fixtures/camelia.png", "t/fixtures/out2.png", 128, 128);
STATUS
This module is a very minimal FFI wrapper for libvips for smart image resizing (my use case was making thumbnails). I may add more functionality later.
Pull requests are welcome if you want to add more vips functionality.
You will need vips installed, I refuse to vendor glib.
On MacOS: brew install vips
On Ubuntu: sudo apt install libvips-dev
I don't know why the GitHub Actions are failing on MacOS. The library runs on MacOS, that's where I built it.
EXTERNAL API
Vips::Native
smart-resize(Str $in-path, Str $out-path, Int $out-width, Int $out-height --> Bool)
Takes the input at $in-path, crops it to the right aspect ratio based on attention filter, then resizes to $out-width x $out-height and saves it to $out-path as a PNG.
vips_smart_resize --in=/path/to/image.png --out=/path/to/save.png --width=180 --height=180
Also installs a script to resize images as per above.
