How do I crop an image taken from user media object?

Hi guys, I just wish to place an image taken either by camera input or by file chooser in a square sprite (1200 x 1200), but most of the mobile cameras take 16:9 pictures. I wish to crop the picture at runtime and then load it into the square sprite. Is that possible?

Yes, you can do this using the Drawing Canvas

Oh, great, thank you! Never used it yet, any suggestions/steps?

Thank you, but couldn´t find the action to load an image (or userMedia snapshot) to canvas. Load snapshot canvas doesn´t work for this. Any idea?

To crop an image after loading it you would need to first load the image into a sprite, then size the drawing canvas to the size of the crop, position it over the sprite, then paste the object. Since it only pastes the parts of the object within the bounds of the canvas, this works like cropping

Ahh ok, nice trick, pretty clear, thank you!!!
