Pictures zoomed in and stretched vertically

[skypanther]

I'm trying to use SquareCamera actually in a square...pictures are coming out quite zoomed in and stretched vertically.

camera = SquareCamera.createView({
	top: 80,
	left: 0,
	height: Alloy.Globals.deviceWidth,
	width: Alloy.Globals.deviceWidth,
	detectCodes: false,
	backgroundColor: "#000",
	forceHorizontal: false,
	backQuality: SquareCamera.QUALITY_HD, // Optional Defaults to QUALITY_HD
	camera: "back",
	/*		transform: Ti.UI.create2DMatrix().scale(1),*/
	zIndex: 1
});
camera.addEventListener('success', saveImage);
$.win.add(camera);

This picture was of my keyboard. In the preview before I took the picture, I'd estimate that the full height of the keyboard and about a third of its width were visible. However, the resulting photo shows just the keys in the lower-right of the preview, quite zoomed in and stretched vertically.

If I uncomment the transform, the stretching is not as bad, but the photo is still zoomed in to where I see just a couple of the keys. If I set the transform to a scale less than 1, the camera preview doesn't fill the view area and crashes when I try to snap a photo.

I remember having some issues as well. In the module I changed the cropRect to keep the aspect ratio. That did the trick for me, but I wasn't sure which functionality it would break so I didn't create a pull request. Anyway, try changing this:

CGRect cropRect = CGRectMake(
      0,
      0,
      image_width,
      image_height
);

To this:

CGRect cropRect = CGRectMake(
      0,
      0,
      size.width,
      (image_height/image_width)*size.width
);

In ComMfoggSquarecameraView.m then rebuild the module.
