Making Thumbnail Pictures

This section describes the functions that allow your application to create thumbnail pictures from existing images that are stored as pixel maps, pictures, or picture files. Thumbnail pictures are useful for creating small, representative images of a source image. You can use thumbnails when you create previews for files that contain image data (for more information about file previews, see the chapter "Movie Toolbox" in this book).

You can create thumbnails from pictures, picture files, or pixel maps--use
the MakeThumbnailFromPicture, MakeThumbnailFromPictureFile, or MakeThumbnailFromPixMap function, as appropriate.
