_wp_make_subsizes() WordPress Function

The _wp_make_subsizes() function is used to create new image sizes for a WordPress site. This is useful for responsive design, where you might want to have different image sizes for different screen sizes. The function takes three parameters: The first parameter is the name of the image size. The second parameter is the width of the image in pixels. The third parameter is the height of the image in pixels. The function will return an array of image sizes, which can then be used in your theme.
