Is there a way to scale the size of an image with perl Tk? I tried passing the -height and/or -width options to Photo(), but when I display it with Label() it just shows a chunk of the image, not the whole thing, and not scaled at all. 

$mw->Photo("image1", -data => $imgdata{'image1'}, -height = 200);
$mw->Label(-image => "image1")->pack();

Is there a way to do this in Tk, or do I have to scale the image myself with Image Magick or GD? I thought that being able to scale the image would save alot of time as opposed to creating several versions of the image in different sizes.

Thank you!
