hi,<div><br></div><div>to the extent i know there is no facility to scale graphics image in inferno and plan9. long back when i went thru ATI graphics chip specification and another set-top box ASIC spec, I found that these accelerations are supported in hardware. here are my questions along these lines:</div>
<div><br></div><div>- do other platforms like Windows, Mac use the hardware facilities like this to do image scaling (like submit the task to graphics card, then read the result back)?</div><div>- do plan9, inferno graphics modules do this? to the extent i know they dont.</div>
<div>- how is graphics scaling done in plan9/inferno? are there any software implementations like library routines written?</div><div>- are there any command-line tools to rescale images, etc? i remember earlier edition of plan9 had command-line tools.</div>
<div><br></div><div>please provide me any pointers.</div><div><br></div><div>thanks</div><div>dharani</div><div><br></div>
