Method Detail

scaleBufferedImage

java.awt.image.BufferedImage scaleBufferedImage(java.awt.image.BufferedImage image,
                                                float xScale,
                                                float yScale)

Scales a buffered image using defined X and Y axis scale factors. For example:

If you wanted to take a 512x512 image and scale it to 256x256 you would use an X and Y scale factor of 0.5.

NOTE: The X and Y scale factors do not have to be equal.

Parameters:

image - the buffered image to scale.

xScale - X-axis scale factor.

yScale - Y-axis scale factor.

Returns:

a scaled buffered image.
