Transform- transformations available for asimages libafterimage/transform.h
Defines transformations that could be performed on ASImage.
Transformations can be performed with different degree of quality. Internal engine uses 24.8 bits per channel per pixel. As the result there are no precision loss, while performing complex calculations. Error diffusion algorithms could be used to transform it back into 8 bit without quality loss.
Any Transformation could be performed with the result written directly into XImage, so that it could be displayed faster.
Complex interpolation algorithms are used to perform scaling operations, thus yielding very good quality. All the transformations are performed in integer math, with the result of greater speeds. Optional MMX inline assembly has been incorporated into some procedures, and allows one to achieve considerably better performance on compatible CPUs.

unsigned int to_height,

unsigned int compression_out, int quality );
- pointer to valid ASVisual structure
- source ASImage
- desired width of the resulting image
- desired height of the resulting image
- optionally describes alternative ASImage format that should be produced as the result - XImage, ARGB32, etc.
compression level of resulting image in range 0-100.
- output quality
returns newly created and encoded ASImage on success, NULL of failure.
If size has to be reduced - then several neighboring pixels will be averaged into single pixel. If size has to be increased then new pixels will be interpolated based on values of four neighboring pixels.

This function will tile original image to specified size with offsets requested, and then it will go though it and adjust hue, saturation and value of those pixels that have specific hue, set by affected_hue/ affected_radius parameters. When affected_radius is greater then 180 entire image will be adjusted. Note that since grayscale colors have no hue - the will not get adjusted. Only saturation and value will be adjusted in gray pixels. Hue is measured as an angle on a 360 degree circle, The following is relationship of hue values to regular color names : red - 0 yellow - 60 green - 120 cyan - 180 blue - 240 magenta - 300 red - 360
