xxf:image-metadata()

[SINCE Orbeon Forms 4.4]

xxf:image-metadata($content as xs:anyURI, $name as xs:string) as xs:item?

Access basic image metadata.

The function returns the empty sequence if the URL is empty or the metadata requested is not found.

  • $content: URL pointing to an image
  • $name: metadata property name
    • width: image width in pixels, returns an xs:integer if found
    • height: image height in pixels, returns an xs:integer if found
    • mediatype: image mediatype based on the content, returns an xs:string of image/jpeg, image/png, image/gif or image/bmp (the formats universally supported by browsers) if found

NOTE: The function dereferences the content of the URL when called. Accesses to local files are likely to be faster than remote files.

The following example validates that the image is within 10% of a 1x1 aspect ratio:

<xf:bind
  ref="uploaded-image"
  constraint="
    abs(
        xs:decimal(xxf:image-metadata(., 'width')) div
        xs:decimal(xxf:image-metadata(., 'height')) - 1.0
    ) le 0.1"/>
