#5 Creating thumbnails with PerlMagick

[Mark Stosberg]

The PerlMagick documentation really needs some help. In
particular it could use some concrete "HOWTOs" or
"Recipes" to balance out the terse documentation there
now. Below is some "POD" format documentation of this
nature for creating thumbnails.

I wanted to create something simple and fairly self
contained. This gives new users the possibility to read
something like this instead of needing to comb through
the whole documentation to figure out how to do
something simple like create a thumbnail.

Please double check my recipes. I recall from memory
that the "geometry" still call to Resize produces a
different result than giving the "width" and "height".
However, the current docs say they should be the same....

I hope this is helpful.
