CdkPixbuf.InterpType
Description: Reference for CdkPixbuf.InterpType

### Enumeration

# CdkPixbufInterpType

#### Declaration

    enum CdkPixbuf.InterpType

#### Description [src]

Interpolation modes for scaling functions.

The `CDK_INTERP_NEAREST` mode is the fastest scaling method, but has horrible quality when scaling down; `CDK_INTERP_BILINEAR` is the best choice if you aren’t sure what to choose, it has a good speed/quality balance.

Note: Cubic filtering is missing from the list; hyperbolic interpolation is just as fast and results in higher quality.

#### Members

`CDK_INTERP_NEAREST`

  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.

  - Value: `0`
  - Available since: 2.0
`CDK_INTERP_TILES`

  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.

  - Value: `1`
  - Available since: 2.0
`CDK_INTERP_BILINEAR`

  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.

  - Value: `2`
  - Available since: 2.0
`CDK_INTERP_HYPER`

  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). Deprecated: this interpolation filter is deprecated, as in reality it has a lower quality than the `CDK_INTERP_BILINEAR` filter (Since: 2.38).

  - Value: `3`
  - Available since: 2.0
