Description: cropresize
        ==========
        
        cropresize uses `PIL <http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/>`_
        to crop and resize an image as appropriate for web
        presentation. cropresize is a convenience package that allows image
        resizing without aspect ratio distortion.
        
        API
        ---
        
        cropresize contains one useful function, ``cropresize.crop_resize``.
        The function takes three arguments:
        
            * image: a `PIL image <http://www.pythonware.com/library/pil/handbook/image.htm>`_ object
            * size: a 2-tuple of (width,height);  at least one must be specified
            * exact_size: whether to scale up for smaller images  
        
        See ``cropresize.crop_resize.__doc__`` for the function
        documentation.  ``crop_resize`` returns the cropped and resized PIL image.
        
        
        Command Line
        ------------
        
        The command line program, ``crop-resize``, is included in this python
        package.  The help for the program is displayed by running
        ``crop-resize`` with no arguments or ``crop-resize --help``.
        
        
        Future Work
        -----------
        
        cropresize is written as a convenience function to PIL as this
        methodology for cropping and resizing images is often desired for
        presentation, particularly on the web.  Since the utility is in
        demand, the functionality should be ported upstream to PIL.
