grabpixmap

I have been able to store multi-images in a single .png but I can't find a way to get a sub image out to draw.
grabpixmap seem to be the right command to select a sub image that I want to draw. Then I want to draw the sub image to a specific place. The followinf code get the muti-images loaded:

Local image:timage
Local x,y
Global pixmap:TPixmap
Graphics 800,600

image=LoadImage(LoadPixmapPNG("cimage.png"))

DrawImage image,0,0

Now what do I do to get and draw a sub image from this load to a specific location on the screen

PixmapWindow is probably what you need.

DrawImageRect?

thanks, I will look at it

I am trying get around not have an array for images

drawImageRect

draws the all the images in small rectangle not a single image subset

LoadAnimImage?

Thank FlameDuck. This code worked

load_image=LoadAnimImage:TImage( ("cimage.png"),71,96,0,52,flags=-1 )
DrawImage load_image,0,0
Flip
WaitKey
End

This should allow for an array based indexing of these images and screen placement

Also for annimation storage

You can remove the highlighted bit in the above code. 'Flags' is the parameter name, -1 is its default value. So if anything it should read "....0,52,-1", but you can just omit the -1 completely. I'm surprised your code didn't throw a type conversion error.

I can only get 15 images from from the stored .png which has 56 image. I did this by a "for" loop that changed the cell first cell parameter from 0 to 14 anything higher caused an error. No error raised on the number of cells.

thank gfk for comment

That's what the 'frame' parameter of DrawImage() is for...

Strict

Graphics 800, 600, 0

Local image:TImage = LoadAnimImage("cimage.png", 71, 96, 0, 56)

For Local currentFrame=0 To 55
	Cls
	DrawText "Frame " + currentFrame, 12, 12 
	DrawImage image, 100, 100, currentFrame
	Flip
	
	Delay(1000)
Next

End

works great

thanks Ian
