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

Method scale

  ``GTK2.GdkPixbuf` scale(`GTK2.GdkPixbuf` `dest`, `int` `dest_x`, `int` `dest_y`, `int` `dest_width`, `int` `dest_height`, `float` `offset_x`, `float` `offset_y`, `float` `scale_x`, `float` `scale_y`, `int` `type`)`

Description

  Creates a transformation of the source image by scaling by scale_x and scale_y, then translating by offset_x and offset_y, then renders the rectangle (dest_x,dest_y,dest_width,dest_height) of the resulting image onto the destination image replacing the previous contents. Try to use scale_simple() first, this function is the industrial- strength power tool you can fall back to if scale_simple() isn't powerful enough.
