image resizing in node.js

I am trying to resize image in node.js by this program .

https://github.com/LearnBoost/node-canvas/blob/master/examples/resize.js

var Canvas = require('canvas')
  , Image = Canvas.Image
  , fs = require('fs');

开发者_JS百科var img = new Image
  , start = new Date;
img.src = __dirname + 'flowers.jpg';

console.log('Resized and saved in %dms');
img.onload = function(){
  console.log('Resized and saved in buffer');
  try{
  var width = img.width / 2
    , height = img.height / 2
    , canvas = new Canvas(width, height)
    , ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
  ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0, width, height);
  canvas.toBuffer(function(err, buf){
    console.log('Resized and saved in buffer');
    fs.writeFile(__dirname + '/resize.jpg', buf, function(){
      console.log('Resized and saved in %dms', new Date - start);
    });
  });
  }catch(e){
    console.log(sys.inspect(e));
  }
};

img.onerror = function(err){
  throw err;
};

the program is not going in the onload function why ? Edit : give this error while trying img.src after attaching the onload and onerror events?

`Resized and saved in NaNms

Using Image Magic giving me this error :

        throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick

Code :

var im = require('imagemagick');

im.resize({
  srcPath: __dirname + '/flowers.jpg',
  dstPath: __dirname + '/flowers-small.jpg',
  width:   '50%'
}, function(err, stdout, stderr){
  if (err) throw err
  console.log('resized')
});

Have you already tried setting img.src after attaching the onload and onerror events? Just noticed this as a difference between the original example and yours.

Another question: is the onerror event triggered? If so, the thrown exception could be helpful.

Update

If you just want to resize images and don't need to use any canvas-specific operations, simply use ImageMagick and node-imagemagick. I just did a small test and it worked out of the box:

var im = require('imagemagick');

im.resize({
  srcPath: __dirname + '/koala.jpg',
  dstPath: __dirname + '/koala-small.jpg',
  width:   '50%'
}, function(err, stdout, stderr){
  if (err) throw err
  console.log('resized')
});

For the node_imagemagick module to work you need to install the imagemagick CLI interfaces,

On a mac it can be as easy as:

brew install imagemagick

But this really depends on your specific system.

__dirname does not have a trailing slash.

Change it to this:

img.src = __dirname + '/flowers.jpg';

And attach event handlers before setting img.src like @schaermu said.

FYI, your console.log statement uses a %d but there's no variable after the quoted string. (I'm not sure this solves your other errors.)
