Hello all,
This service force the creation of an image derivative with imagecache. Just pass the relative url of the image and the name of image cache preset.
The title and code is from Florian Lorétan. Read more from his blog:

It was so easy to make a service.
But what im looking for is to create presets on the fly, something like:
Scale (width=160, height=null , upscale: false)
Crop (width= 155, height= 160, xoffset= center, yoffset= center)
Sharpen ( radius= 0.5, sigma= 0.5, amount= 100, threshold= 0.05)
And so on...
Any body know how this can be accomplish?

wow, thanks a bunch for that
wow, thanks a bunch for that function, works like a charm :)
I take it imagecache_build_derivative tells imagecache to create the image if cron hasn't run or something?
Is there any chance you could
Is there any chance you could work this into a patch for the Imagecache module? It would be great to get it included for them.
@Heyrocker: For at least
@Heyrocker: For at least 7.x-3.x it should be considered if something like this should be included in Services Core since the Imagecache-module will be included in Drupal 7 core?
An alternative solution to including it in Imagecache Core might also be to release this as its own module which could be made to work with both D6 and D7.
Great
@imp7: Sorry i didn't understand your question.

I would prefer its own module
I would prefer its own module as 6.x will be around for a while yet. Its pretty cool imagecache will be in core though.
@carlosg2 I was just trying to understand how imagecache works. From what I understand the images are usually generated and triggered by an HTTP request and thats what the imagecache_build_derivative is doing by itself.
