Android开发技巧——定制仿微信图片裁剪控件

拍照--裁剪,或者是选择图片--裁剪,是我们设置头像或上传图片时经常需要的一组操作.上篇讲了Camera的使用,这篇讲一下我对图片裁剪的实现. 背景 下面的需求都来自产品. 裁剪图片要像微信那样,拖动和放大的是图片,裁剪框不动. 裁剪框外的内容要有半透明黑色遮罩. 裁剪框下面要显示一行提示文字(这点我至今还是持保留意见的). 在Android中,裁剪图片的控件库还是挺多的,特别是github上比较流行的几个,都已经进化到比较稳定的阶段,但比较遗憾的是它们的裁剪过程是拖动或缩放裁剪框,于是只好自己

Android图片裁剪实现(EnjoyCrop)

Android裁剪功能实现 概述 从4月初到5月份 ,差不多一个多月,终于把裁剪图片的功能码出来了,期间,解决了一个又来一个问题,好吧,问题总是会有的. 这里大致介绍这个裁剪功能技术点.主要难点,实现原理. 技术点 图片缩放.移动 裁剪区域预览 裁剪(包括越图片边界裁剪) 边界限制 主要难点 裁剪区域预览 裁剪 边界限制 实现原理 裁剪预览区域的实现 在我做过的项目中,就有使用过一些网络上开源的裁剪功能:半透明遮罩层的矩形预览框功能.它的实现原理是在裁剪预览区域外的地方填充了几个半透明的矩形框,

Android大图片裁剪终极解决方案 原理分析

约几个月前,我正为公司的APP在Android手机上实现拍照截图而烦恼不已. 上网搜索,确实有不少的例子,大多都是抄来抄去,而且水平多半处于demo的样子,可以用来讲解知识点,但是一碰到实际项目,就漏洞百出. 当时我用大众化的解决方案,暂时性的做了一个拍照截图的功能,似乎看起来很不错.问题随之而来,我用的是小米手机,在别的手机上都运行正常,小米这里却总是碰钉子.虽然我是个理性的米粉,但是也暗地里把小米的工程师问候了个遍.真是惭愧! 翻文档也找不出个答案来,我一直对com.android.came

.net图片裁剪抠图之性能优化

//.net图片裁剪抠图:1.将不坐标点存入GraphicsPath中:GraphicsPath gPath = new GraphicsPath();2. 通常我们判断一个坐标点是否在闭合区间内通采用GraphicsPath.IsVisible(),但事实证明这种方法判断效率及其低,这里我们采用Region.IsVisible(),经测试,GraphicsPath.IsVisible()处理一张800*800的图片需要14s以上时间.Region.IsVisible()只需要1s. // //

原生 JavaScript 图片裁剪效果

图片裁剪程序效果如下,可鼠标操作. 拖动左边小方框时在右侧实时显示对应的裁剪图片,同时左侧的拖动框里图片完全显示,拖动框外部图片模糊显示.8个控制点可以对显示区域大小进行控制. HTML 和 CSS 部分 左侧的裁剪操作区域可以分为三层. 最底层的图片半透明效果:中间层的图片只显示制定区域,其他部分隐藏:最上层为拖拽控制层.最低层和中间层使用同一张图片,利用CSS属性clip控制中间层只显示一部分. 三个层都使用 absolute 绝对定位.下面是 HTML 和 CSS 代码. 1 <div i
