wp_constrain_dimensions( int $current_width, int $current_height, int $max_width, int $max_height )

Calculates the new dimensions for a down-sampled image.

Description

If either width or height are empty, no constraint is applied on that dimension.

Parameters

$current_width

(int) (Required) Current width of the image.

$current_height

(int) (Required) Current height of the image.

$max_width

(int) (Optional) Max width in pixels to constrain to. Default 0.

$max_height

(int) (Optional) Max height in pixels to constrain to. Default 0.

Return

(int[]) An array of width and height values.

  • (int) The width in pixels.
  • '1'
    (int) The height in pixels.

	 * Constraining to the result of a constraint should yield the original result.
	 * Thus we look for dimensions that are one pixel shy of the max value and bump them up.
