hi, to the extent i know there is no facility to scale graphics image in inferno and plan9. long back when i went thru ATI graphics chip specification and another set-top box ASIC spec, I found that these accelerations are supported in hardware. here are my questions along these lines:
- do other platforms like Windows, Mac use the hardware facilities like this to do image scaling (like submit the task to graphics card, then read the result back)? - do plan9, inferno graphics modules do this? to the extent i know they dont. - how is graphics scaling done in plan9/inferno? are there any software implementations like library routines written? - are there any command-line tools to rescale images, etc? i remember earlier edition of plan9 had command-line tools. please provide me any pointers. thanks dharani
