IMAGECROP — Crop image

Crops (frames) a raster image to a rectangle.

• Command: IMAGECROP · Global name: _IMAGECROP · Alias: IREC
• Ribbon: Insert › Image and tracing

Crops (frames) a raster image to a rectangle. What is left outside is discarded in a new PNG file, next to the original (which is not touched), and the drawing image is relinked to that file.

Usage

1. Enter IMAGECROP (or IREC) or click the button.
2. Select the image.

Select the image to crop:

3. Specify the first corner.

4. Specify the opposite corner.

Notes

• The corners are specified in the drawing; you can snap to the image's own corners and edges.
• The insertion point and size of the drawing image are adjusted to the cropped piece; the pixel size is unchanged.
• The original file is not changed: the crop goes to a new file <name>-ed.png.
• It is a permanent crop of the pixels; to hide without cropping the pixels use IMAGECLIP.
