c# - WebImage Crop To Square

Question

Does anyone know how to use the new ASP.Net MVC 3 Html Helper WebImage to crop an uploaded file into a square. I would like to have it centered if possible. I've been banging my head for the last few hours trying to figure this out...any help is appreciated!

The scenario is pretty simple, user can upload an image, the image will then be resized to a square to be used later as a thumbnail in the site.

This worked for me, hope saves some time for others...!

private static void CropImage (HttpPostedFileBase sourceImage) {
  var newImage = new WebImage(sourceImage.InputStream);

  var width = newImage.Width;
  var height = newImage.Height;

  if (width > height) {
    var leftRightCrop = (width - height) / 2;
    newImage.Crop(0, leftRightCrop, 0, leftRightCrop);
  }
  else if (height > width) {
    var topBottomCrop = (height - width) / 2;
    newImage.Crop(topBottomCrop, 0, topBottomCrop, 0);
  }

  //do something with cropped image...
  //newImage.GetBytes();
}
