Copying images of vector sprites

[Kevin Fink]

The reg point of the image and the vector may not be in the same place, try
setting both of the reg points to the same location.

member("MyVector").reg = point(0,0)
member("MyBitmap").reg = point(0,0)

otherwise you can try to simply move the vector

VectorRect = sprite(Bitmap).rect
VectorRect[1] = VectorRect[1] +1
VectorRect[2] = VectorRect[2] +1
sprite(Vector).rect = VectorRec

Oops actually I think it's regpoint, not reg
member("MyBitmap").regpoint = point(0,0)

Hi all, a quick question

I'm copying the image of a vector sprite into a bitmap. The bitmap is the
precise height of the vector shapes image taking into account the
strokewidth, yet I'm finding a small problem.

When using something like the following:

shp = myVectorshape.image
srect = shp.rect
drect = rect(startx, 0, endx, srect[4])
myImage.copyPixels(shp, drect, srect)

I find that the actual shape is not starting at 0 height but at 1... This
means that the bottom of my vector shape is being clipped (I'm assuming that
there is a one pixel border around the vectorshape's image). I know I can
fix this by Expanding the bitmap in my case, but I'd like to know if there
is a way of clipping the vectorshape member so that the image is precisely
the size of the actual drawing, or is this one pixel discrepency inherent.

Thanks in advance
