[wp-hackers] Crop a picture

[Nathaniel Taintor]

If you want to do it in PHP, look into the ImageGD library. Its included
with almost all PHP5 installations that I've seen. Your code would look
something like this, to crop a 100px square from the top left of your
original gif:

$image = imagecreatefromgif( $url_to_src );
$cropped = imagecreatetruecolor( 100, 100 );
imagecopy( $cropped, $image, 0, 0, 0, 0, 100, 100 );
imagegif( $cropped );

But I'm not sure why you couldn't just do it with css, either using the clip
property, or just displaying your image in a div with overflow set to
hidden.
