Scaling pixbufs and scaling and compositing pixbufs
<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
The &gdk-pixbuf; contains functions to scale pixbufs, to scale
pixbufs and composite against an existing image, and to scale
pixbufs and composite against a solid color or checkerboard.
Compositing a checkerboard is a common way to show an image with
an alpha channel in image-viewing and editing software.
</para>
<para>
Since the full-featured functions (gdk_pixbuf_scale(),
gdk_pixbuf_composite(), and gdk_pixbuf_composite_color()) are
rather complex to use and have many arguments, two simple
convenience functions are provided, gdk_pixbuf_scale_simple() and
gdk_pixbuf_composite_color_simple() which create a new pixbuf of a
given size, scale an original image to fit, and then return the
new pixbuf.
</para>
<para>
The following example demonstrates handling an expose event by
rendering the appropriate area of a source image (which is scaled
to fit the widget) onto the widget's window. The source image is
rendered against a checkerboard, which provides a visual
representation of the alpha channel if the image has one. If the
image doesn't have an alpha channel, calling
gdk_pixbuf_composite_color() function has exactly the same effect
as calling gdk_pixbuf_scale().

<!-- ##### ENUM GdkInterpType ##### -->
<para>
This enumeration describes the different interpolation modes that
can be used with the scaling functions. @GDK_INTERP_NEAREST is
the fastest scaling method, but has horrible quality when
scaling down. @GDK_INTERP_BILINEAR is the best choice if you
aren't sure what to choose, it has a good speed/quality balance.
<note>
<para>
Cubic filtering is missing from the list; hyperbolic
interpolation is just as fast and results in higher quality.
</para>
</note>
</para>
@GDK_INTERP_NEAREST: Nearest neighbor sampling; this is the fastest
and lowest quality mode. Quality is normally unacceptable when scaling
down, but may be OK when scaling up.
@GDK_INTERP_TILES: This is an accurate simulation of the PostScript
image operator without any interpolation enabled. Each pixel is
rendered as a tiny parallelogram of solid color, the edges of which
are implemented with antialiasing. It resembles nearest neighbor for
enlargement, and bilinear for reduction.
@GDK_INTERP_BILINEAR: Best quality/speed balance; use this mode by
default. Bilinear interpolation. For enlargement, it is
equivalent to point-sampling the ideal bilinear-interpolated image.
For reduction, it is equivalent to laying down small tiles and
integrating over the coverage area.
@GDK_INTERP_HYPER: This is the slowest and highest quality
reconstruction function. It is derived from the hyperbolic filters in
Wolberg's "Digital Image Warping", and is formally defined as the
hyperbolic-filter sampling the ideal hyperbolic-filter interpolated
image (the filter is designed to be idempotent for 1:1 pixel mapping).
