[Java] Resizing a BufferedImage

Here's a small piece of code that might aid you in resizing a BufferedImage. Most methods I saw on the internet just took the BufferedImage and resized it to fit the screen. This method will return a new bufferedImage with the new width and height. 

1. public static BufferedImage resize(BufferedImage img, int newW, int newH) {  
2.         int w = img.getWidth();  
3.         int h = img.getHeight();  
4.         BufferedImage dimg = dimg = new BufferedImage(newW, newH, img.getType());  
5.         Graphics2D g = dimg.createGraphics();  
6.         g.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION,     RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR);  
7.         g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, newW, newH, 0, 0, w, h, null);  
8.         g.dispose();  
9.         return dimg;  
10.     }
