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

actually when we use gdk_pixbuf_scale_simple(pb,700,700,GDK_INTERP_BILINEAR); this function causes memory leakage (If we monitor task manager the memory requirement goes on increasing till it kills the process) when used with a timer event. How to solve that
