gegl_buffer_get's last argument the repeat-mode is now a combined bit-field flags argument. In addition to choosing the edge repeat behavior for the fetch we can now also control the interpolation used when scaling from the nearest bigger mipmap level explicitly by oring one of the buffer scaling modes into the flags. The available values that can be | in with the repeat-mode, are, with the performance scaling factors relative to the default, GEGL_BUFFER_BILINEAR, note that for the range 0-2.0 the default is boxfilter - since it is a nicer transition to nearest neighbor. GEGL_BUFFER_NEAREST 8.0 GEGL_BUFFER_BILINEAR 1.0 GEGL_BUFFER_BOXFILTER 0.4 nearest uses nearest neighbor sampling from the next bigger size, bilinear uses a bilinear interpolation of the values from the bigger available size, sampling 2x2 pixels for each output pixel, while boxfilter uses a 3x3 neighbourhood - which is sufficient for accurate box-filtering from the next bigger power of two scale in a mip-map. The names for these flags, in particular the prefix, might change, if neither of them are passed in GEGL_BUFFER_BILINEAR is assumed, this is slightly lower quality than the previoux default boxfilter, but is 5-6 times faster - while still being much better than nearest neighbor - and as we are zooming out; the more correct mipmap scaling dominates.
