Programmatically Crop image after resize

Question

How i can first resize then crop image. I already use Varien_Image like this :

        $imageObj = new Varien_Image($_imageUrl);
        $imageObj->constrainOnly(false);
        $imageObj->keepAspectRatio(false);
        $imageObj->keepFrame(false);
        $imageObj->crop($cutH, $cut, $cut,$cutH);
        $imageObj->resize(floor($width), floor($height));
        $imageObj->save($_imageUrl);
        return $imageUrl;

th code above first crop then resize. but i want first resize then crop and also i want only resize width not height?

Answer 1

Change the sequence of calling method crop and resize as below

$imageObj = new Varien_Image($_imageUrl);
        $imageObj->constrainOnly(false);
        $imageObj->keepAspectRatio(false);
        $imageObj->keepFrame(false);
        $imageObj->resize(floor($width), floor($height));
        $imageObj->crop($cutH, $cut, $cut,$cutH);
        $imageObj->save($_imageUrl);
        return $imageUrl;
