scale_simple

Create a new pixbuf containing a copy of `src` scaled to `dest_width` x `dest_height`.

This function leaves `src` unaffected.

The `interp_type` should be `GDK_INTERP_NEAREST` if you want maximum speed (but when scaling down `GDK_INTERP_NEAREST` is usually unusably ugly). The default `interp_type` should be `GDK_INTERP_BILINEAR` which offers reasonable quality and speed.

You can scale a sub-portion of `src` by creating a sub-pixbuf pointing into `src`; see [methodGdkPixbuf.Pixbuf .new_subpixbuf].

If `dest_width` and `dest_height` are equal to the width and height of `src`, this function will return an unscaled copy of `src`.

For more complicated scaling/alpha blending see [methodGdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.scale] and [methodGdkPixbuf.Pixbuf .composite].

Parameters:

this	a Pixbuf
dest_width	the width of destination image
dest_height	the height of destination image
interp_type	the interpolation type for the transformation.

Returns:

the new pixbuf
