NAME

Imager::Trim - automatic cropping for images using Imager.

VERSION

version 0.007

SYNOPSIS

use Imager::Trim;

my $imager = Imager::Trim->new( file => 'image.jpg' )
    or die "Cannot open file: ", Imager::Trim->errstr();

my $cropped_image = $imager->trim( fuzz => 50 );

$cropped_image->write( file => 'cropped_image.jpg' );

By default the first pixel from top left is used for automatic cropping, however you can provide yourself an Imager::Color for custom action:

use Imager::Trim;
use Imager::Color;

my $white_color = Imager::Color->new("#FFFFFF");
my $imager = Imager::Trim->new( file => 'image_with_white_background.jpg' );
my $color_cropped_image = $imager->trim( color => $white_color );

You can even do the cropping manually using Imager (on this example, we're leaving 10px extra space around the automatically cropped image, if possible:

use Imager::Trim;

my $imager = Imager::Trim->new( file => 'image.jpg' );
my $cropped_image = $imager->trim();

my $border = 10;
my $top = $cropped_image->{trim_top} - $border;
my $left = $cropped_image->{trim_left} - $border;
my $right = $cropped_image->{trim_right} + $border;
my $bottom = $cropped_image->{trim_bottom} + $border;

my $manually_cropped_image = $imager->crop(
    top => ($top > 0) ? $top : 0,
    left => ($left > 0) ? $left : 0,
    right => ($right > 0) ? $right : 0,
    bottom => ($bottom > 0) ? $bottom : 0
);

DESCRIPTION

This module extends Imager to allow automatic cropping of images. The method is similar as used in image editors (e.g. "magic wand") or with ImageMagick's "trim" (e.g. 'convert image.jpg -fuzz 50 -background white -trim cropped_image.jpg').
