<div class="intro">

<p>This example shows a simple 8-way image resize and provides the required CSS elements required for the most common image-resize visual treatment.</p>

</div>

<div class="example">

{{>image-resize-source}}

</div>

<h3>Setting up the Node</h3>

<p>First we need to create an image to resize; we wrap the image in another element to provide some CSS hooks.</p>

```

{{>image-resize-source-html}}

```

<h3>Setting up the YUI Instance</h3>

<p>Next, we need to create our YUI instance and tell it to load the `resize` module.</p>

```

YUI().use('resize');

```

<h3>Making the Node Resizable</h3>

<p>Now that we have a YUI instance with the `resize` module, we need to instantiate the `Resize` instance on this element.</p>

```

YUI().use('resize', function(Y) {

var resize = new Y.Resize({

//Selector of the node to resize

node: '#demo'

});

});

```

<h3>Adding the Constrained Plugin</h3>

<p>Now we add the `ResizeConstrained` plugin. This plugin will allow you to limit the resize dimensions in special ways.</p>

```

{{>image-resize-source-js}}

```

<h3>Adding CSS</h3>

<p>Image resize operations typically have their own visual treatment and therefore require slightly different drag handles in order to be discoverable and intuitive. Here is CSS that provides a common image-resize visual treatment:</p>

```

{{>image-resize-source-css}}

```
