Resize Image

Hi..
I'm looking for a simple solution, to resize an image.. perferably some method with this effect:

Image oldImage = new ImageImage("..").getImage();
Image newImage = resizeImage( oldImage, 800, 600 ); // 800px wide, 600px high

Anyone? I'm guessing I need to use the AffineTransform.scale(..) for this; but I don't know what sort of argument I would need to pass...

For example:

AffineTransform tx = new AffineTransform();
tx.scale(scalex, scaley);

What would the scalex and scaley need to be, in order to scale it down, from 1024x768 to 800x600 (for example)..
Would it be something like this:

AffineTransform tx = new AffineTransform();
tx.scale(0.78125, 0.78125);

??

Cheers.

scalex - the factor by which coordinates are scaled along the X axis direction
scaley - the factor by which coordinates are scaled along the Y axis direction

scalex = 800 * 1024
scaley = 600 * 768

Which is
>> tx.scale(0.78125, 0.78125);
indeed :°)
