HOW TO RESIZE THE HEIGHT AND WIDTH OF THE IMAGE

[Kia1 (Ana)]

I want to capture the screen of a website with the “Take Screenshoot” activity

The screenshot will be a “png” file and then I want the image to be immediately resized in width and height.

After that, it was saved to the image folder and given a file name according to the excel data that I had

I made a flow like this is it correct? but how to resize the height and width of the image?

hello @Kia1 ,

you can use HTML template to give size of your image
just we need to convert into ToBase64String.

"<img src=""data:image/jpg;base64,byte_stringVariable"""+"Width=""320"" height=""250"" " +"/>"

below screenshot is for your reference

lastly HTML_tag you can use in your templete.

i am attaching .xaml file for your reference

Is this implemented after or before the take screenshot activity?

[Dheerendra_vishwakarma (Dheerandra vishwakarma)]

@Kia1

what i have done is i have placed images in local folder and used html template to give size

[Kia1 (Ana)]

I experienced an error in the byte_arr assignment section

I want the image to be immediately resized in width and height.

We can do it by a flow like this:

@Kia1

resized in width and height.

here a formal specification on how the scaling / scalefactor is defined is recommended. But we can dynamic calculate it and also add to the implementation parts

[Kia1 (Ana)]

what is the “myImage” variable for?

[ppr (Peter Preuss)]

Activating the Take Screenshot Activity and Pressing F1 brings us to:

Activities - Take Screenshot

and we can check:

which is a variable of DataType:

We recommend to have an understanding on what is done. Instead of:

• Taking Screenshot - writing file - reading file - scaling file - writing scaled file

we just do:

• Taking Screenshot - scaling file - writing scaled file

Argument ‘Image’: BC30057: Too many arguments to ‘Public Overloads Function Scale(scaleFactor As Double) As Image’.

I experienced an error, the myImg variable was already of image type

then where do I give the image height and width values?

@Kia1

I experienced an error,

We recommend to check what is needed and expected within the functions

@ppr

here a formal specification on how the scaling / scalefactor is defined is recommended.

we mentioned but it was not answered
yourScaleFactor is of DataType double e.g. 0.75 = 75%, 0.45 …

As you gave too numbers, it was causing the factor.

So let us know in detail what is needed we can help on:

• calculating the scalefactor (as mentioned and offered above)
• checking for alternate scaling options

Kindly note: we recommend a proportional scaling. Does mean

• do scale with the same factors on witdth and hight

[Kia1 (Ana)]

The original image size is Width: 960px Height: 450px

I want to change it to Width : 429px , Height : 201px

[ppr (Peter Preuss)]

429 / 960 = 0.446875
201/ 450 = 0.4466

So we dont have a proportional scaling, but close as
450 * 0.446875 = 201.09375

So we can calculate the scale factor by

@Kia1 ,
what you have put in byte_arr assign
can you show me? so that we can help you

[ppr (Peter Preuss)]

@Kia1
we recommend to focus 1 approach - implement it to end / success
And THEN explore alternates
But do not work on multiple approaches in parallel

@Dheerendra_vishwakarma
we don’t see a need of:

An UiPath.Core.Image gives us already the Base64 String by

[Dheerendra_vishwakarma (Dheerandra vishwakarma)]

@Kia1
yes as @ppr is saying right just go for one approach then find the alternative way.

[Kia1 (Ana)]

I’ve fixed the robot running smoothly, but when I check the image size it doesn’t change

Should I change the part that I circled in yellow to my path name?

[Dheerendra_vishwakarma (Dheerandra vishwakarma)]

@Kia1
your image is in png format
try this if it work

"<img src=""data:image/png;base64,byte_stringVariable"""+"Width=""320"" height=""250"" " +"/>"

I have a UiPath flow like this, is it possible without using the “For each file in folder” activity? because I already have my own loop.

what variables can I write to “load image”?

[ppr (Peter Preuss)]

We recommend scoping 1 Topic = 1 use case

The description from begin and the Flow from above are much different and we risk a ping-pong communication losing a straightforward progress to solution

@Kia1

s it possible without using the “For each file in folder” activity

we recommend not to ommit the loop over the files e.g. with black-boxing it with an invoke code.

However the part of:

can be condensed to
