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

(array) First item is the width, the second item is the height.

	// Sometimes, due to rounding, we'll end up with a result like this: 465x700 in a 177x177 box is 117x176... a pixel short
	// We also have issues with recursive calls resulting in an ever-changing result. 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

	// Note: $did_width means it is possible $smaller_ratio == $width_ratio.
	if ( $did_width && $w == $max_width - 1 ) {

		$h = $max_height; // Round it up
