Creating thumbnails dynamically

Is there any way that thumbnails of images in a directory could be created dynamically ?

I would like to write a program in C that does this but I need to know what the "create thumbnail" command/function might be.

If necessary I would do a system call but this would mean that I would need a commandline command to do the business.

Any help or suggestions gratefully accepted.

There are some thumbnail generation plug-ins available for gimp. Check out the plug-in registry at http://www.gimp.org and find them there.

Good luck!

What I am after is a cgi or similar that I can have running on my website(see signature) and not have to upload both the image and the thumbnail of the image on to the web.

You want to use imagemagick it has language bindings for about every language that you could imagine, it is kind of an unwieldy beast of an app but it works.

You own the webserver ? Because, if you own it, the best shot is to try Imagemagik, it's not hard to create thumbs using it. But, if you do not own the server, try libjpeg, libpng, etc.

I wrote a quicky php script for this. Download from http://www.phpro.org

Of course you need PHP 4.3.1 for this to work

Kind regards Kevin
