I already try it and thereby try to learn a bit of python programming, 
but I cannot get the scaleImage() function to do something useful. I 
opened a new thread for this.

The benefit that I see is that rounding errors will not change your 
frame but only the image. I fear that if it is done repeatedly there 
errors could maybe sum up (in some very constructed, special, cases) if 
the frame is changed repeatedly, the image, on the other hand, is always 
set to defined starting conditions (frame completely filled) and 
therefore you are rounding one time maximum. It is of course a rather 
theoretical consideration with almost no practical impact, but that's 
unfortunately the way I think about these things :-)

A more practical benefit is that you don't have to distinguish 
horizontal and vertical cases.

Thanks and best regards

Chris
