SPRITE EXPAND HORIZONTAL (command)

With the SPRITE EXPAND HORIZONTAL command you can expand the sprite horizontally, so that it is more than one pixel on the screen for every pixel of the sprite.

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