Thread: Is there a better stretching routine than StretchBlt

    StretchBlt is a fairly robust API routine, but it seems to lose effectiveness when reducing large images (e.g. 800x600) to a much smaller size (e.g. 80x60).

    Is there a more efficient routine that avoids aliasing effects and preserves the color pallete?

    paintpicture is the vb version of it. I haven't figured out why it's faster than stretchblt, although i think you can fix the screwed stretch with setstretchbltmode, i haven't tested the changes in effectiveness. The blt method using Ddraw is probably the fastest way to stretch, but you would have to include DX7 lib in your project then.
