Scale Filter for IconBuilder
============================

	IconBuilder tools and filters are just special bundles.  The
bundles contain executable code for the tool, the interface for the
tool's inspector, and any accessory resources that that the tool needs
to function (icons, sounds, language specific strings, etc.).  Making
a new tool is surprisingly easy, and is accomplished through the magic
of Objective-C and NXBundle objects.  If you want to know more about
the design IconBuilder, take a look at "An introduction to extensible
programming" by Jeff Martin and Joshua Doenias from the Fall 1991 Next
On Campus.  In that article, the authors describe an extensible
painting program called "DynaPaint" which bears a striking resemblance
to IconBuilder!

The IconBuilderScaleFilter directory should contain the following items:
	·	README.rtf  (this file)
	·	Scale.pfilter (a compiled and ready-to-go filter for scaling images)
	·	Scale (a ProjectBuilder directory with the filter's source code)
