Formulas do not work in ImageCrop

Post by TurboSlayer »

Formulas do not work in ImageCrop. I am not sure what value it uses instead of the formula, but from my experience it seems to use 0 as the value.

Example of code that works:
ImageCrop=0, 0, 5, 181, 1

Example of code that does not work (uses 0 instead):
ImageCrop=0, 0, 5, (180), 1
ImageCrop=0, 0, 5, (180 + 1), 1
ImageCrop=0, 0, 5, (#Var# + 180), 1

The documentation for formulas says that formulas can be used "as a numeric part of an option value", and this is the example:
FontColor=(255 * 0.5),255,255,255

However, this doesn't seem to work with ImageCrop, and the only way around it is to calculate the result first using a Calc measure or by doing it manually. Any help would be appreciated.

They are, just remove the spaces outside of the formulas, from the options. All of the following ones are working:
ImageCrop=0,0,5,(180),1
ImageCrop=0,0,5,(180+1),1
ImageCrop=0,0,5,(#Var#+180),1
Additionally even the following ones are working:
ImageCrop=0,0,5,(180 + 1),1
ImageCrop=0,0,5,(#Var# + 180),1
If there are no formulas, the spaces can be used. That's why the ImageCrop=0, 0, 5, 181, 1 option is working.

It's at the very least inconsistent behavior.
