To generate a square thumbnail in c#, use this code:
public Bitmap Generate75x75Pixel(Bitmap image) { if(image == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("image"); Bitmap bmp = null; Bitmap crapped = null; int x = 0, y = 0; double prop = 0; if(image.Width > 75) { // compute proportation prop = (double)image.Width / (double)image.Height; if(image.Width > image.Height) { x = (int)Math.Round(75 * prop, 0); y = 75; } else { x = 75; y = (int)Math.Round(75 / prop, 0); } bmp = new Bitmap((Image)image, new Size(x, y)); crapped = new Bitmap(75, 75); Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(crapped); g.DrawImage(bmp, new Rectangle(0, 0, 75, 75), new Rectangle(0, 0, 75, 75), GraphicsUnit.Pixel ); bmp = crapped; } else { crapped = image; } return bmp; }
