class HexaPDF::Layout::ImageBox

Parent

An Image box object is used for displaying an image.

It can either be used directly or through the HexaPDF::Composer#image method.

How an image is displayed inside an image box, depends on whether the width and/or height of the box has been set:

  • If one of them has been set, the other is adjusted to retain the image ratio.

    composer.image(machu_picchu, width: 40)
    composer.image(machu_picchu, height: 40)

  • If both have been set, both are used as is.

    composer.image(machu_picchu, width: 100, height: 30)

  • If neither has been set, the image is scaled to fit the current region.

    composer.image(machu_picchu)
