Calling Sequence

RDPIX, Image [, X0, Y0]

Arguments

Image

The array that contains the image being displayed. This array may be of any type. Rather reading pixel values from the display, they are taken from this parameter, avoiding scaling difficulties.

X0, Y0

The location of the lower-left corner of the image area on screen. If these parameters are not supplied, they are assumed to be zero.
