How to set image style in your own module in Drupal 7
Some time ago one of our customers asked to port gallery from Drupal 6 site to Drupal 7 one.
The module was not complex, the main difficult that I faced during the process to change Image Cache approach to the Image style one that native in Drupal 7. The main idea is to set resize rules of thumbnails in the gallery. Users should no do that themselves.
Previously in Drupal 6 there was following solution. The Image Cache preset set in the .install file.

Above the part of ms_gallery.install code. I would like to show how to set Image Cache preset programmatically.
In the case of Drupal 7 there is no Image Cache module. Instead it we should use Image Style approach that included in the Drupal 7 core.
I try to find any example in the Google, but the examples that I found does not work.
There is no any other option that to study Drupal.org. And after several hours I have found following beautiful HOOK:hook_image_default_styles()
In terms of this hook to solve my task will be so easy!
