SPRITE COMPRESS HORIZONTAL (command)

With the SPRITE COMPRESS HORIZONTAL command you can compress the sprite horizontally, so that it is effectively one pixel on the screen for every pixel of the sprite.

Note that the keyword to use is only COMPRESS HORIZONTAL, which must therefore be preceded by the keyword SPRITE and the sprite index. You can put multiple COMPRESS HORIZONTAL statements together, but of course this will have no effect.
