gdk-sharp Gtk# is thread aware, but not thread safe; See the Gtk# Thread Programming for details. System.Enum GLib.GType(typeof(Gdk.InterpTypeGType)) Interpolation mode for scaling operations. Bilinear is the best balance in most cases. Nearest provides faster (and low quality) scaling, while Hyper is slow but high-quality. Field Gdk.InterpType Best quality/speed balance; use this mode by default. Bilinear interpolation. For enlargement, it is equivalent to point-sampling the ideal bilinear-interpolated image. For reduction, it is equivalent to laying down small tiles and integrating over the coverage area. Field Gdk.InterpType This is the slowest and highest quality reconstruction function. It is derived from the hyperbolic filters in Wolberg's "Digital Image Warping", and is formally defined as the hyperbolic-filter sampling the ideal hyperbolic-filter interpolated image (the filter is designed to be idempotent for 1:1 pixel mapping). Field Gdk.InterpType Nearest neighbor sampling; this is the fastest and lowest quality mode. Quality is normally unacceptable when scaling down, but may be OK when scaling up. Field Gdk.InterpType This is an accurate simulation of the PostScript image operator without any interpolation enabled. Each pixel is rendered as a tiny parallelogram of solid color, the edges of which are implemented with antialiasing. It resembles nearest neighbor for enlargement, and bilinear for reduction.
