<p>AdaptiveResizeImage() adaptively resize image with pixel resampling.</p>
<p>This is shortcut function for a fast interpolative resize using mesh interpolation. It works well for small resizes of less than +/- 50 of the original image size. For larger resizing on images a full filtered and slower resize function should be used instead.</p>
<p>The format of the AdaptiveResizeImage method is:</p>

<h2><a href="http://www.imagemagick.org/api/MagickCore/resize_8c.html" id="ResizeImage">ResizeImage</a></h2>
<p>ResizeImage() scales an image to the desired dimensions, using the given filter (see AcquireFilterInfo()).</p>
<p>If an undefined filter is given the filter defaults to Mitchell for a colormapped image, a image with a matte channel, or if the image is enlarged. Otherwise the filter defaults to a Lanczos.</p>
<p>ResizeImage() was inspired by Paul Heckbert's "zoom" program.</p>
