[comp.graphics] resampling bitmaps

coy@ssc-vax.UUCP (Stephen B Coy) (12/08/88)

I have a need to be able to resample some bitmap images and would
appreciate any pointers to algorithms.  What I've got is an MxN
image and four points in that image which are the corners of the new
image I want.  The points are given in floating point and will
generally not be aligned in any way with the original grid.  

Any algorithms, pointers to references or code will be gratefully
accepted.  Thanks.

for, resampling images, see:
