## getScaledInstance

getScaledInstance( java.awt.image.BufferedImage img, int targetWidth, int targetHeight, Object hint, boolean higherQuality ) → java.awt.image.BufferedImage

Convenience method that returns a scaled instance of the provided BufferedImage.

### Parameters

img - the original image to be scaled
targetWidth - the desired width of the scaled instance, in pixels
targetHeight - the desired height of the scaled instance, in pixels
hint - one of the rendering hints that corresponds to {@code RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION} (e.g. {@code RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_NEAREST_NEIGHBOR}, {@code RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR}, {@code RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BICUBIC})
higherQuality - if true, this method will use a multi-step scaling technique that provides higher quality than the usual one-step technique (only useful in downscaling cases, where {@code targetWidth} or {@code targetHeight} is smaller than the original dimensions, and generally only when the {@code BILINEAR} hint is specified)

### Returns:

a scaled version of the original {@code BufferedImage}
