Hi
here a little demo that shows the power of _putimage, building up a camera pointer on an image and a zoomer.
you can copy , save and run the following code
this is the output
![[Image: image.png]](https://i.ibb.co/RGQ6kBNy/image.png)
Code: (Select All)
Rem the idea is to show a piece of image (camera) around the mouse pointer into another canvas using _putimage
Rem a canvas is for the first image and a second canvas is for pointer camera so we can play with _putimage

+1... but I would suggest looking into using hardware acceleration for the mouse movement. It's too laggy as is. By keeping the original image on a screen and copying the window image, you can then use hardware acceleration to _putimage at the new coordinates. Now this app uses 36% CPU on my resource poor little laptop system. Looping apps without _limit, especially when hardware acceleration is involved, should have a system idle routine employed.
This reminded me of a time before hardware acceleration was available. I made a window that could be moved in a graphics gui app but even with my best efforts of optimization, I could not move the mouse, without experiencing lag, as quickly as I could in similar Windows applications.
Pete
PS I do like the color scheme. I have a similar one, as I like the yellow for remarks, but I don't do pink are any different color for numbers.

Very cool! The mouse isn't laggy for me, though the white window box does flicker a lot when you move it around. Nice work. And, yeh, I like your bold and brazen color scheme.

here a better (I hope ) version
I add a _display for flickering of white square and the use of image with hardware acceleration

Hi friends
keep patience
I have thought that it is possible to make the square of area selected by mouse pointer by using OpenGl technology...
so this is the version of code in which the selected area by mouse uses OpenGl commands...
here a screenshot
