resizeQuality

Type

property

Summary

Specifies which method LiveCode should use to scale an image.

Syntax

set the resizeQuality of <image> to <qualityValue>

Description

The resizeQuality of an image takes one of three values:

• "normal": uses a "nearest" filter- i.e. no interpolation. This is the fastest scaling method and is the default for new images
• "good": uses a bilinear filter- i.e. interpolation is done between the four nearest pixels using bilinearity.
• "best" : uses a bicubic filter- i.e. interpolation is done using cubic approximation from near pixels. This is the slowest scaling method but produces the best quality scaling.

The default value of the resizeQuality for new images is "normal"

note

Setting the resizeQuality of an image to any value other than "normal", "good" or "best" has no affect. It will not produce an error, but the value of the property will remain as it was before.

Examples

get the resizeQuality of image "myImage"

set the resizeQuality of the templateImage to "best"
