Scale an image in GTK

Question

In GTK, how can I scale an image? Right now I load images with PIL and scale them beforehand, but is there a way to do it with GTK?

Answer 1

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.

gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file_at_scale(..)
gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file_at_size(..)
