NEW ATLAS

The NEW ATLAS command allows you to define a memory area where you can store a set of images coming from the screen (with the GET IMAGE command), or from another graphic resource.

The area must be defined by (constant) number of frames, (constant) width and (constant) height, expressed in pixels. The actual size, in terms of bytes of RAM, will depend on the graphics mode selected at the time.

If it is not possible to define an image in that screen mode, a specific error will be issued.
