Ruby on Rails Ajax rubberband

Question

I want my users to be able to select gum in an image for a Ruby on Rails application. Has anyone seen any good plugins that do this, or make it easier for me to implement it?

Answer 1

I played with cropping an image that has this feature and uses Prototype , so that should be fine for ROR. The code is pretty easy to understand if you just want an elastic ribbon element.

If you want to make your own movie, it’s not too difficult to glue the Scriptaculous Dragable Object into a DIV and resize / move the DIV. See my crappy demo.
