ImageCache.config Configuration File

The ImageCache.config file resides in the Configuration folder of the web application. It determines how image processing is applied. The file is an XML file that defines the available types and processing for each type. Valid attributes are:

id	Identifier of the image type.
width	Maximum width of the image. If both width and height are zero then the image is not resized.
height	Maximum height of the image. If both width and height are zero then the image is not resized.
aspect	Determines whether or not the image's original aspect ratio is preserved.
watermark-text	Text to watermark the image with.
watermark-h	Horizontal alignment of watermark text (Left, Center, Right )
watermark-v	Vertical alignment of watermark text(Top, Center, Bottom)
watermark-font	Watermark text font face name.
watermark-font-size	Watermark text font size.
watermark-font-bold	Whether or not font is bold (true, false)
watermark-image	Filename of the watermark image. CalmAPI looks for the image in the bin folder. The image is alpha blended with the original image. If you use a file format that supports transparency (such as png) then the transparency in the watermark image is honoured.
watermark-image-aspect	Whether or not the watermark image's aspect ratio is preserved.
output-format	MIME type of the output image( image/jpeg, image/tiff, image/bmp, image/gif, image/png)
output-quality	Output quality (1-100) of the output image. 100 is the maximum quality. Not all output formats support image quality.
output-recompress	Whether or not the output is recompressed when the image stored in Calm is in the same format as the output image and no extra processing is required for that image. Multi-page images and images that require resizing / watermarking have to be recompressed.
cached	Whether or not images are locally cached.
