I would like to create an avatar-trimming feature like that found on Facebook and Flickr, which allows the end user to select an area of their uploaded image (constrained to a square) to be their avatar.
I figure it's using JavaScript to select the top and bottom x,y co-ordinates that define the box, and passing those numbers to the image processing functions to crop the image (I'm using CF8 for this one). The server-side part sounds straightforward, but the client-side part sounds tricky. I'm guessing/hoping that as this is something that has been done before, there might be an example somewhere, or something :) My attempts to google the answer have been largely unsuccessful cos I don't really know what words to use - avatar +trim +javascript gets me all sorts of things including questions about trimming nose and pubic hair. hmmmm. Any pointers greatly appreciated!
