-\constfunc{wxImage}{Scale}{\param{int}{ width}, \param{int}{ height}}
+\constfunc{wxImage}{Scale}{\param{int}{ width}, \param{int}{ height}, \param{int}{ quality = wxIMAGE\_QUALITY\_NORMAL}}
Returns a scaled version of the image. This is also useful for
scaling bitmaps in general as the only other way to scale bitmaps
It may be mentioned that the GTK port uses this function internally
to scale bitmaps when using mapping modes in wxDC.
+\docparam{quality}{Determines what method to use for resampling the image. Can be one of the following:
+
+\twocolwidtha{5cm}%
+\begin{twocollist}
+\twocolitem{{\bf wxIMAGE\_QUALITY\_NORMAL}}{Uses the normal default scaling method of pixel replication}
+\twocolitem{{\bf wxIMAGE\_QUALITY\_HIGH}}{Uses bicubic and box averaging resampling methods for upsampling and downsampling respectively}
+\end{twocollist}}
+
+It should be noted that although using wxIMAGE\_QUALITY\_HIGH produces much nicer
+looking results it is a slower method. Downsampling will use the box averaging method
+which seems to operate very fast. If you are upsampling larger images using
+this method you will most likely notice that it is a bit slower and in extreme cases
+it will be quite substantially slower as the bicubic algorithm has to process a lot of
+data.
+
+It should also be noted that the high quality scaling may not work as expected
+when using a single mask colour for transparency, as the scaling will blur the
+image and will therefore remove the mask partially. Using the alpha channel
+will work.
+
Example:
\begin{verbatim}
\func{wxImage\& }{operator $=$}{\param{const wxImage\& }{image}}
-Assignment operator. This operator does not copy any data, but instead
-passes a pointer to the data in {\it image} and increments a reference
-counter. It is a fast operation.
+Assignment operator, using \helpref{reference counting}{trefcount}.
