re-sizing large graphs to fit web display

[zhilianghu]

I am looking for a tool (or I can program one if not too complicated)
in perl that can resize large graphs to better serve the web? (No, not
to use <img width= height= ...> to "re-size" but re-size the graph
itself)

It is most appreciated if someone could kindly provide some clues where
to get started... (any perl module does this? I searched Google/books
and don't seem to be lucky enough to find one).

Thanks!
Zhiliang

If you are talking about resizing gifs/jpegs then many use http://www.imagemagick.com/

Resizing tutorial for imagemagick:

There is a Perl interface too:

Programs like irfanview can do batch resizing. Resize before, don't do it
on-the-fly.
