in reply to Another Image Resize Question

If you take a look at the column where merlyn (well merlyn's unnamed friend) coins the term 'dumbnail'. He mentions the freely available NETPBM Utilites, other than that I have heard of no standard module to handle image resizing.

I understand installing ImageMagick can be a pain but installing GD is pretty easy (and available as a ppm if you use certain evil OS's). You might want to think about installing a module in your home diectory.

    Thanks grep

    Sadly the "NETPBM Utilities" link is unavailable, but I'll have a look elsewhere for this!

    I've downloaded both ImageMagick & GD to have a look, but they are beyond my (current) knowledge to decipher!

    Still...I'll keep looking for the solution.

        Thanks grep

        I'll grab it and take a look! Hopefully it will be of use either as a Module for the script, or as the basis of my own creation! :-)
