The GET IMAGE instruction copies a portion of the screen into an image in memory,
which must be defined in advance. The dimensions of the image to be captured are
defined by the variable where the image will be stored. The image is also captured
with color components.
The purpose of the GET IMAGE command is to store the contents of the screen
in a variable. The first syntax is where the programmer provides the coordinates
of the rectangle to be stored. This syntax will store only the bitmap of the
image. You need to give the G option if you want to store color component,
too.
The second, instead, only requires the point from which to start storing the image,
whose dimensions are implicitly obtained from the variable. The color component
is acquired implictly. The GET IMAGE syntax is the only one that supports
ATLAS and SEQUENCE version, so you can acquire a single frame from the screen.
GET IMAGE var FROM [x], [y] GET (x1,y1) - (x2,y2), var[, G]
background = NEW IMAGE(16, 16) GET IMAGE background FROM 0, 0
