# Method GTK2.GdkPixbuf()->scale_simple()

Method scale_simple

  `GTK2.GdkPixbuf scale_simple(int dest_width, int dest_height, int|void interp_type)`

Description

  Create a new W(Pixbuf) containing a copy of this W(Pixbuf) scaled to dest_width x dest_height. Leaves this W(Pixbuf) unaffected. intertype should be GDK2.INTERP_NEAREST if you want maximum speed (but when scaling down GDK2.INTERP_NEAREST is usually unusably ugly). The default interp_type should be GDK2.INTERP_BILINEAR which offers reasonable quality and speed. You can scale a sub-portion by create a sub-pixbuf with new_subpixbuf().
