NAME

Image::GD::Thumbnail - produce thumbnail images with GD

SYNOPSIS

        use GD;
        use Image::GD::Thumbnail;

        # Load your source image
        open IN, 'E:/Images/test.jpg'  or die "Could not open.";
        my $srcImage = GD::Image->newFromJpeg(*IN);
        close IN;

        # Create the thumbnail from it, where the biggest side is 50 px
        my ($thumb,$x,$y) = Image::GD::Thumbnail::create($srcImage,50);


        # Save your thumbnail
        open OUT, ">E:/Images/thumb_test.jpg" or die "Could not save ";
        binmode OUT;
        print OUT $thumb->jpeg;
        close OUT;

  __END__

DESCRIPTION

This module uses the GD library to create a thumbnail image with no side bigger than you specify.

The subroutine create takes two arguments: the first is a GD image object, the second is the size, in pixels, you wish the image's longest side to be. It returns a new GD image object (the thumbnail), as well as the x and y dimensions, as (integer) scalars.
