Scaling Images Using Qualcomm Brew

Overview Perhaps the image is one in a resource file, or maybe it's one downloaded from the Web. Regardless, it's on the handset, and one wants to scale it to best fit a specific handset's screen.

This paper will show both methods, as well as explain when a developer might want to choose one over the other.
