convert jpg and gif to thumbnails?

Hi,
Can anyone help me with a java class to convert jpg and gif to thumbnails. The function including resize the pic ratio. I am thinking if convert to thumbnails might be slow then I can use the resize ratio to resize the pic to certain ratio displaying on the web page.

I don't know how to calculate the resize ratio.

Thanks.

Hi objects,

Sorry for the delay. Had a family emergency. I did the following but got an error message:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Width (0) and hei
ght (0) cannot be <= 0
at java.awt.image.DirectColorModel.createCompatibleWritableRaster(Unknow
n Source)
at java.awt.image.BufferedImage.<init>(Unknown Source)
at test.<init>(test.java:25)
at test.main(test.java:11)

How u initialize the W?

            int W = 0;

            File file=new File(".");
            File thumb = new File(file.getParentFile(), file.getName()+".thumb");
            Image i = new ImageIcon(file.getCanonicalPath()).getImage();
            int w = i.getWidth(null);
            int h = i.getHeight(null);
            double ratio = (double) W / (double) w;
            AffineTransform scale = AffineTransform.getScaleInstance(ratio, ratio);
            BufferedImage scaled = new BufferedImage(W, (int)(h*ratio), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
            Graphics2D g = scaled.createGraphics();
            g.setTransform(scale);
            g.drawImage(i, 0, 0, null);
            JPEGImageEncoder encoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(new FileOutputStream(thumb));
            JPEGEncodeParam jpegParams = encoder.getDefaultJPEGEncodeParam(scaled);
            jpegParams.setQuality(1.0f, false);
            encoder.setJPEGEncodeParam(jpegParams);
            encoder.encode(scaled);
