thats not correct to go into imli it does nto go do approximate scaling
- it scales exactly to the size you want - i have considered adding
render types for anti-aliased scaling (ie pixel subsampling and
supersampling on scale) - it wont be pretty code nor will it be fast.
currenly it's not ont he top of the priority list for imlib - an imlbi
server is however, and revers drawable-> RGB is too. (specifically for
screencapture etc.)
