iam surprised by such basic issue. i hope iam missing something. i still dont know why a scaled down image looks good in gthumb on desktop vs cairo on a x86 scratchbox. Does it have to do something with graphic drivers supported on desktop. Any inputs would be greatly helpful as iam totally blocked because of this problem. thanks, Zaheer <div class="gmail_quote">On Nov 27, 2007 2:46 AM, Dan Amelang <<a href="mailto:daniel.amelang@gmail.com"> daniel.amelang@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="Ih2E3d">On Nov 26, 2007 6:29 AM, zaheer ahmad < <a href="mailto:zaheer.mot@gmail.com">zaheer.mot@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: zaheer ahmad <<a href="mailto:zaheer.mot@gmail.com">zaheer.mot@gmail.com</a>> > Date: Nov 26, 2007 11:25 AM > Subject: problem with cairo scale > To: <a href="mailto:cairo-request@cairographics.org">cairo-request@cairographics.org</a> > > > hi , > iam trying to scale a image ( rediff.html) with cairo and the scaled > down image resolution is very bad. </div>Hello zaheer, have a look through this thread from last month: <a href="http://lists.cairographics.org/archives/cairo/2007-October/011600.html" target="_blank"> http://lists.cairographics.org/archives/cairo/2007-October/011600.html</a> Wish I had better news for you.
