Hey everybody,

I'm working on implementing terrain tools in the scene editor for my project.

I'm using the 'Blitz Terrain' code library for this and it uses heigtmaps, texturemaps, etc. Which basically are graphics. Now I need a way so when I press 'new terrain' button, those image files (though blank) needs to be created for further editing. In other words, I seek commands to create (and edit), instead of just load, image files.

Perhaps I'm looking with my nose, but I could not find the right commands. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!


Edit:
I feel a bit silly now... basic bitmap commands will do, but I'm still not sure how to save them properly. I need a way to convert the bitmap to a file somehow and save it with the file commands, right? Lol, just guessing here. Help?

Use get image to grab the image (Even if it is just a blank bitmap), and the use save image to save the file to disk.

Hope that helps

@sph!nx

If we load a bitmap ,we can get an image from it as width and heith as the bitmap is. For example we load an bitmap of 640*480 pixels....we can get a portion of image of this bitmap an delete bitmap.

load bitmap "my_bitmap",1
get image 1,0,0,100,100,1
delete bitmap 1
save image "mh_image.bmp",1

With this piece of code we open an bitmap and save our image to a file. Our image will be 100*100 pixels. I hope it can help.

cheers.
