Hi folks ...

I have created a screen 1024x768, followed by a get image command 0,0,1024,768 ( so in theory grabbing the whole screen )

now when i use the save image command it saves it with a 1024x1024 size and streaches the image to match .... any ideas what im doing wrong and how to stop this happening ?

thanx

Use get image 0,0,1024,768,1

The extra 1 at the end keeps it from squaring it.

To clarify, the following syntax rules come from DarkBasic Professional's Tutorial on Screen Scrolling. It was created in January of 2003, but the information should remain valid.

If you specify an additional "0" at the end of the "get image" command, this tells DBPro that the image is going to be used for a texture. On the other hand, by using a "1" for the parameter, instead of a "0", DBPro will attempt to use a pixel perfect image, which would be fine until the point where you wish to scroll the image, whereupon the image would become corrupt.

I hope that this information helps.

So, I guess it boils down to whether or not you wish to scroll the image.
