getScaledInstance() method which has the following prototype.public Image getScaledInstance(int width, int height,int hints)
width, height is the width and height of the selesai image respectively.
hints corresponds to the algorithm used for re sizing. The possible values for hints are
SCALE_DEFAULT, SCALE_FAST, SCALE_SMOOTH, SCALE_REPLICATE, SCALE_AREA_AVERAGING with values 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 respectively.SCALE_DEFAULT: Use the default image-scaling algorithm.
SCALE_FAST: This gives more priority to re-sizing rather than smoothness of the image.
SCALE_SMOOTH: This gives more priority to smoothing. Hence, quite slow.
SCALE_REPLICATE: This integrates more into image infrastructure provided by the toolkit.
SCALE_AREA_AVERAGING: This also integrates into the image infrastructure but in a different approach.
