Take a square photo

[ChelsWin]

Hello, is there a way to use photos.capture_image() to take a square photo instead?

@ChelsWin I don't think that you can force the camera to a square via photos.capture_image but you could use this kind of script which uses camera and then an Apple standard view that shows the photo in a forced square. I'm sure that I am not clear enough, thus try it.

import ui
from objc_util import *
#import ctypes
#from PIL import Image


def imagePickerController_didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo_(self,cmd,picker,info):
	global view

	pick = ObjCInstance(picker)
	# Set delegate to nil, and release its memory:
	pick.setDelegate_(None)
	ObjCInstance(self).release()
	# Dismiss the sheet:
	pick.dismissViewControllerAnimated_completion_(True, None)
	
	# Get UIImage
	infos = ObjCInstance(info)
	#print(infos)
	img = infos['UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage']	# UIImage 
	
	UIImagePNGRepresentation = c.UIImagePNGRepresentation
	UIImagePNGRepresentation.restype = c_void_p
	UIImagePNGRepresentation.argtypes = [c_void_p]
	UIImage_data = nsdata_to_bytes(ObjCInstance(UIImagePNGRepresentation(img)))

	ui_image = ui.Image.from_data(UIImage_data)
	view['iv'].image = ui_image
	
SUIViewController = ObjCClass('SUIViewController')

MyPickerDelegate = create_objc_class('MyPickerDelegate',
methods=[imagePickerController_didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo_], protocols=['UIImagePickerControllerDelegate'])

class Extracter(ui.View):
	def __init__(self):
		
		self.background_color = 'white'
		self.frame = (0,0,400,400)

		# Take Photo Button
		self.take_photo = ui.ButtonItem(title = 'Take Photo')
		self.right_button_items = (self.take_photo,)
		self.take_photo.action = self.take_photo_action
		
		iv = ui.ImageView(name='iv')
		iv.frame = (0,0,self.width,self.height)
		self.add_subview(iv)

	# Take Photo Action
	#@ui.in_background
	@on_main_thread
	def take_photo_action(self, sender):
				
		# Show camera
		picker = ObjCClass('UIImagePickerController').alloc().init()
		
		delegate = MyPickerDelegate.alloc().init()
		picker.setDelegate_(delegate)
		
		picker.allowsEditing = True
		picker.sourceType = 1 # UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera
		picker.setAllowsEditing_(True)
		#print(dir(picker))
		super_view = self
		super_view_pntr = ObjCInstance(super_view)
		vc = SUIViewController.viewControllerForView_(super_view_pntr)
		vc.presentModalViewController_animated_(picker, True)

if __name__ == '__main__':
	global view
	view = Extracter()
	view.present('sheet')

@cvp Thank you. That solved my problem
