Is there an easy way to resize/scale an Image?
I know I could resize the Image before hand but I need to make a sort of thumbnail preview and I didn't want to double up all my Images.

I've searched the forum and checked the help system and can see how to apply a light source, mirror it, covert it to greyscale etc, but no way to resize.

Do I have to turn the image into a sprite and then scale the sprite or use the TextureQuad command?

If there isn't already a single line command would it be possible to add;
DrawImageScale ImageNumber,xpos,ypos,xSize,ySize,SolidFlag or something similar?

If there is already a command and I've missed it, I apologise, I have looked for it honest!  :blink:

turn it into a sprite, and scale accordingly

There's no image resize command atm.  You can use TextureQuad though, this is pretty much how a resize image command would work anyway.  

This example bellow pretty much does what your asking for, although i've just noticed the transparent parameters are not available with TextureTri/TextureQuad.  Will have to hook those up later.

 on it's way.

Thanks Draco9898 & Kevin,

I thought I was on the right lines, the lack of transparent parameters shouldn't be a problem for what I require.

Looking forward to that searchable help. Like search engines, I'll start off searching for one thing and find out loads of other things in the process. (except it will all be useful and minus popups!)

I hope empty throws in a few popups then :)

The next version will have an alphabetically sorted command index. A full text search option will come later.

Yep, negotiating with some companies re. ad space. :)
