'----------------------------

Resampling is when a pixel colour (or in this case, a character) is chosen that
is midway between the pixels that are removed and the pixels that are kept, so
that a lot of the detail is retained. Lots of your big paint proggies can do
this, like Paint Shop Pro and Photoshop.
