What are bitmaps? I *think* I understand they are images that can be rendered and altered away from the screen but there are a few things that escape my grasp.

1) How do I take info from a bitmap and place it on the screen?
2) How do I save bitmaps? (Especially those larger than the screen).
3) Is there somewhere I can check out bitmaps? Some resource on it? The manual gives painfully little for explanation of them. As if "These commands are for using bitmaps", gives any hint to what they are, how they work or what to do to use them.

I would also like to know why whenever I try to save my images it clips off a portion of them? I know it isn't anything I am doing to them because I have it load the image to an image slot, then I delete the old image file, and then save it again. It seems that some of the image on the lower right edges are cut off.

Thanks to anyone willing to help. I use DBPro if that is applicable?

To save a bitmap, just type in "save bitmap bitmap number" and where to save it.

Check the COPY BITMAP command. Bitmap 0 is the screen.



I guess you could make a memblock from the bitmap then make an image from the memblock and save that.
There is some code in the codebase that will save a bitmap.
