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

anyone doing this in C. This is how it's done

//Assuming you already loaded the file and saved the filename //GTK_IMAGE(image) is the container used to display the image

GdkPixbuf *pb;

pb = gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file(file_name, NULL);
pb = gdk_pixbuf_scale_simple(pb,700,700,GDK_INTERP_BILINEAR);
            gtk_image_set_from_pixbuf(GTK_IMAGE(image), pb);
