I think you're talking about a way to specify the scaling mode, am I right ?
Something similar to iOS's API :
- stretch : aspect ratio not preserved, fill target
- fit : aspect ratio preserved, smallest image's dimension scaled so that it fills corresponding target's dimension
- fill : aspect ratio preserved, largest image's dimension scaled so that it fills corresponding target's dimension
- center : do not scale, just keep centered
- top : do not scale, just keep top-centered
- etc... : same for all 7 others positions
Would be quite useful indeed !
