Using draggable – need resizable to keep aspect aspect ratio

[norach14]

I am using Draggable and ThrowPropsPlugin. I want to have divs (eventually with images) be both draggable and resizable. I have this working, BUT the user can resize the box horizontally and vertically which will stretch or squish the image. How can I set it up so the box (image) gets resized proportionally, keeping the images aspect ratio? I've attached my html file.

 

Thanks,

Caroline

Hello norach14, and Welcome to the GreenSock Forum!

 

I am not near my computer right now.

 

But in CSS, to keep an image proportional when its parent gets resized, looks something like this (2 ways):

:

/* #1 - using max-width property to keep img tag proportional when resizing parent */
.image-wrapper > img {
   max-width:100%;
   height:auto;
}

/* or this way */

/* #2 - using max-width property to keep img tag proportional when resizing parent */
.image-wrapper > img {
   width:100%; 
   height:auto;
}

/* or this final way */

/* #3 - using both max-width and width property to keep img tag proportional when resizing parent */
.image-wrapper > img {
    max-width:100%;
    width:100%;
    height:auto;
}:

:

Then when the img tag's parent is resized .. the img will resize it self proportionally,  either using max-width or width.

 

I prefer using max-width myself.

 

I hope this helps

Hello again norach14,

 

Here is an example from a codepen fork from jamiejefferson called

. Thanks Jamie

 

I modified it to have an image resize aspect ratio with the GSAP Draggable resize. Drag the resize handle to see the image resize:
