Options for max width/height or keep aspect ratio for Camera

[zyniq82]

I have a feature request about adding options to the Camera plugin for setting max width/height, alternatively a new option for keeping aspect ratio (e.g. keepRatio).

This is somewhat related to #217, in which @mlynch wrote:

Just added this feature to master and will release tomorrow. you can set width and/or height. If you set one but not the other, it does an aspect ratio scale to fit that dimension.

What I need is a further extension of the scaling capabilities, I want to be able to limit the longest side of the photo, yet keep the aspect ratio. I've used the Cordova Camera plugin before, in which this was possible.

The problem now is that

• if I specify both width and height, I'm sure no side is too long, but then the aspect ratio of the resulting image is changed.
• if I specify only width or height, the aspect ratio is retained, but then I don't know if my prescribed value is applied to the longer or shorter side of the image, since I don't know beforehand if the image is in portrait or landscape format.

I don't know if it's good that width and height work like in the Cordova case, always retaining aspect ratio, or if it's better to have an additional option enforcing that aspect ratio is kept (e.g. keepRatio). The latter alternative gives more flexibility, but maybe makes things too complicated.

Let me know what you think of this!
Is this a feature that can be added?
