Hi, Downscaling of a bitmap image can be done in a number of ways (downsampling is a better term and procedure).
The real problem is: what do you expect the outcome to be, if you scale down a line graphic of 1 pixel width, or a detail in the bitmap of 1 pixel in the original 50x50 bitmap that has to be scaled to 15x15 pixels, i.e. 330% down! (this is the original question). One third of a pixel? Do it any way you like it, but the result has to be 1/3 of a pixel whatever that means and however this appears ... :) thanks George --- In [email protected], "flexaustin" <flexaus...@...> wrote: > > Yes, code would be great!
