Hello everyone, I'm new to this group, so please excuse me, if this isn't the right place to post my question to.
Situation: I'm trying to implement a component, that will enable cropping of photo that user wants to set as his profile photo. e.g. User has a nice photo from some "team building" event, but of course the photo contains also other people, has wrong orientation and he isn't skilled with any image processing tool (gimp, photoshop, whatever). What he needs is to select only some area from the photo, where his face is to see. I checked various products like facebook, linkedin, myspace, orkut, gmail, etc. to see what is their approach and the winner for me is the way Orkut and Gmail do it. My idea: 1. Upload picture to server 2. provide URL of data representing the stored picture back to client 3. manipulate with the picture on the client - select the right size and position of the cropping area 4. send the coordinates back to server 5. create profile photo from the original photo based on the coordinates from step 4. via ImageMagic library Problem: Can't find any way to solve STEP 3 from the My idea section. I went through many forums but couldn't find any recommendation how to solve such thing in GWT. There are some projects like gwt-canvas or gwt-g2d, but I'm not sure if these are the right ones for my task. They seem to me more drawing-oriented. Question: Could someone give me an advice what parts of GWT could be used to create and manipulate with the picture cropping area similar to what Orkut or Gmail use - STEP 3 from the section My idea?
