CopyImage (handle)

Parameters:

handle=the variable you gave the handle to when you loaded the image

Description:

Instead of loading a graphic twice in two different handles, you can load the image ONCE then use the CopyImage command to make as many copies in memory as you want.

Why would you want to do this? So you still have a copy of the original image in case you want to alter a copy later for another purpose.

Example:

; CopyImage Example

; Load an image and give its handle to gfxOld variable
gfxOld=LoadImage("mypicture.bmp")

; Duplicate the gfxOld image to a new handle variable
gfxNew=CopyImage(gfxOld)
