Hi,

I am curious if there is a command(s) that can be used to draw repeating images to match a certain width (or height)?

pseudocode: DrawImage(image,startPosX, startPosY,EndPosX, EndPosY)

(A hack around this would be to create a very wide picture and then only draw parts of the picture if the width you want to render is less than the image width.)

Thanks for any help!

There is something in bananas/Richard_Betson/TileImage/ which i think is what you're after.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I realised that I only needed to do this on app start up, so I used an other example (for collision detection I believe) where I actually create a button in realtime based on the display size of the device running the app.

A quick and dirty image tile function would be like this (not tested)

Function DrawTileImage(image:Image,x:Int,y:Int,width:Int,height:Int)

   Local Width:Int = width/image.Width
   Local Height:Int = height/image.Height
   
   For local x:int = 0 until Width
   For local y:Int = 0 until Height
      DrawImage image,x*image.Width,y*image.height
   Next
   Next

End Function

You could also throw in a SetScissors to better cull the area.
