Let's say I have an image that is 1920 x 1280.
I'm using a slider to scale down the image, which goes from 100% to 0%, where 100% is the original size and 0% is the minimum size.
The image can be no smaller than 350 in either height, or width, so 0% should equate to this minimum size.
What formula would I use to calculate the new dimensions? If you could explain the logic, that would be helpful.
I'm certain this is an SAT question that I failed...
var min=Math.min(width,height);
var result=Math.max(min * (percentage/100),350);
var newHeight=(result/min) * height;
var newWidth=(result/min) * width;
Percentage between 0 and 1 (can be altered to be 0 - 100 integers instead of 0 to 1 floats). Other words are describing themselves. Maybe useful as a function:
function ff(height,width,percentage){
var min=Math.min(width,height);
var result=Math.max(min*(percentage/100),350);
var newHeight=(result/min) * height;
var newWidth=(result/min) * width;
return [newWidth,newHeight];
}
No math is needed for this. Css is already capable of these things.
min-width: 350px;
min-height:350px;
width: x% (or height: ... x%)
in a 1920 by 1280 sized div.
