Do you _MAPTRIANGLE?

[Gets]

If you have a 100x100 image, you can treat it like a 1000x100 image and draw it 10 times with one command... or two commands since you need two triangles. I checked the wiki to see if the feature was described, and I think a comment about achieving a  "tiling effect" was the only reference to it.

I mainly use it for scrolling backgrounds, but here's an example of how it works:

Code: (Select All)

scr = _NewImage(1000, 600, 32)

Screen scr


'DRAW SINGLE SMALL TILE

'---------------------

img = _NewImage(40, 100, 32)

_Dest img

Line (0, 0)-(20, 50), _RGB32(128, 0, 0), BF
Line (21, 0)-(40, 50), _RGB32(255, 0, 0), BF
Line (21, 51)-(40, 100), _RGB32(128, 0, 0), BF
Line (0, 51)-(20, 100), _RGB32(255, 0, 0), BF

'----------------------


'FILL ENTIRE SCREEN WITH MAPTRIANGLE

_MapTriangle (0, 0)-(1000, 0)-(0, 600), img To(0, 0)-(1000, 0)-(0, 600), scr
_MapTriangle (0, 600)-(1000, 600)-(1000, 0), img To(0, 600)-(1000, 600)-(1000, 0), scr
