Scale an image in GTK

Load the image from a file using gtk.gdk.Pixbuf for that:

import gtkpixbuf = gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file('/path/to/the/image.png')

then scale it:

pixbuf = pixbuf.scale_simple(width, height, gtk.gdk.INTERP_BILINEAR)

Then, if you want use it in a gtk.Image, crate the widget and set the image from the pixbuf.

image = gtk.Image()image.set_from_pixbuf(pixbuf)

Or maybe in a direct way:

image = gtk.image_new_from_pixbuf(pixbuf)

It might be more effective to simply scale them before loading. I especially think so since I use these functions to load in 96x96 thumbnails from sometimes very large JPEGs, still very fast.

Scale image from URL. ( scale reference )
