Image Stretch Fix

This modification allows the existing image wrapper function to consider your configured image width and height variables as maximum values, not absolute values. It's almost like your configured width and height variables define a box within which your images will fit while maintaining their original aspect ratio (instead of stretching one of the images dimensions).

The modification is pretty basic, and will basically only affect what you want it to affect (no adverse effect on existing code).

The main part of this modification is a slight change to the function tep_image, found in includesfunctionshtml_output.php. If your function definition looks different than this:

function tep_image($src, $alt = '', $width = '', $height = '', $parameters = '')

..then you should probably not apply this modification, as it would appear you have made some other modification which may conflict.

The attached file is *NOT* meant to be uploaded as is... I only made it a .php file so that if you have a code-highlighting editor it would be more visually appealing.

Also note that this is my first contribution... I apologize if I have not followed standard procedure :)

Image Stretch Fix v1.2

10/05/2005 by e_covert

Modifications:

- default stretch is now set to 'false'... besides working remarkably well, it also makes installation much easier.

- as before, images will always maintain their aspect ratio, but now if the image is smaller than the passed in width and height, the image will not be expanded to fit... it will use it's original dimensions. By maintaining aspect ratio and not expanding smaller images, the pixellation of images throughout the site is significantly lessened.
