Hi all,
When I read the descriptions of the BITMAP WIDTH/HEIGHT commands, I thought it meant that it would return the width and height of the bitmap I passed to the command. However, what I get in return is my screen resolution width and height. I’ve tried passing the commands the image number and leaving it blank. Could someone please tell me what I’m doing wrong?



backdrop on
color backdrop rgb(180, 35, 165)

set dir "Y:\Dark Basic Projects\bitmap experiment"

load bitmap "OrangewithShadow.png",0

width = bitmap width ()
height = bitmap height ()
get image 1,0,0,321,321

do



text 0,500,"mouse X position " + str$(mousex())
text 0,520,"mouse Y position " + str$(mousey())
text 0,540,"image width " + str$(width)
text 0,560,"image height " + str$(height)
paste image 1,0,0,0

loop

If you use image then all will work ok.

In DBPro bitmap is the hidden screen size an work place, its not the type of image, its not bmp.

If you knew that already then ok.

It's because bitmap 0 is the main screen that is always going to be the resolution the program is at. Load that on bitmap 1 and you'll see the exact size of the bitmap created.

Thanks for the info, changing the load command from bitmap to image allows me to get the image width and height. However, when I use the GET IMAGE command produces a black square. I'm guessing that this is happening because the file is loaded as an image not a bitmap, and changing the bitmap number does not seem to make a difference. Could someone tell me what I'm not doing correctly?
