Image Processing, GUI

Example:

	Copy Code
HIGEAR hIGear; // HIGEAR handle of the image HIGEAR hIGearThumb; // HIGEAR handle of the thumbnail image AT_ERRCOUNT nErrcount; // Count of errs on stack upon ret from func // Load image file "picture.bmp" from working directory nErrcount = IG_load_file("picture.bmp", &hIGear); if(nErrcount == 0) { nErrcount = IG_IP_thumbnail_create(hIGear, &hIGearThumb, 64, 64, IG_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR); if(nErrcount == 0) { // ... // Destroy the thumbnail image IG_image_delete(hIGearThumb); } // Destroy the image IG_image_delete(hIGear); }

Copy Code

HIGEAR hIGear;            // HIGEAR handle of the image
HIGEAR hIGearThumb;        // HIGEAR handle of the thumbnail image
AT_ERRCOUNT nErrcount;    // Count of errs on stack upon ret from func

// Load image file "picture.bmp" from working directory
nErrcount = IG_load_file("picture.bmp", &hIGear);
if(nErrcount == 0)
{
    nErrcount = IG_IP_thumbnail_create(hIGear, &hIGearThumb, 64, 64, IG_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR);
    if(nErrcount == 0)
    {
        // ...
        // Destroy the thumbnail image
        IG_image_delete(hIGearThumb);
    }
    // Destroy the image
    IG_image_delete(hIGear);
}

Remarks:

This function works in the same way as IG_IP_resize except that it returns a resized copy of the original image, instead of changing the original image. See IG_IP_resize for additional details.

The functionality of this API call has been upgraded and supported by the new function IG_IP_thumbnail_create_ex. This new function allows you to pass additional parameters that affect interpolation.
