Resizing of PIL images

[Tuvas]

I am seeking a way to resize a PIL image, even if the original is a
smaller dimention than the new size. Resizing seems to only make an
image smaller, and not larger. I have a 700x700 sized picture,
sometimes that will display an image larger and other times smaller. Is
there an easy way to do this, a command that I am missing from the
library? Thanks!

newsize = (width, height)

im = im.resize(newsize)

See the docs on transform(). From the sounds of it, if resize() won't
stretch something (it's own docs don't make that clear), then
transform() with appropriate arguments will.

"resize" resizes the image to the given size.

"thumbnail" (which is an in-place operation) doesn't; it creates an
image no larger than the given size.

Ah... probably thumbnail() was what the OP was using when he referred to
resizing...

I used thumbnail originally, and am using resize now. Perhaps it has to
do with the image type (That is based on strings), but the resize
function just didn't do it for me. No idea why... Oh well, probably
just a problem for me, but, I've found a way around it, for the time
being.
