The SetSpriteScissor command has great potential.

But the way the inputs are applied are somewhat counter intuitive for me.

I would expect that the x/y positions would be relative to the upper left corner of the sprite and not associated with the sprite's position in the display.

And it would be great if you could cut from the right side instead of only from the left.

Does anyone know how to do that?

Cheers,

the Description says world coords,
x1,y1 to x2,y2 ist just a recangle on the screen and in it you can see the sprite i think.
and i think x2 must be > x1 and y2 must be > y1

You can clip from any direction.

If your sprite is at x,y and its 128x128 and you want to clip the 32 pixels off from the left:

setSpriteScissor(x+32, y, x+128, y+128)


If your sprite moves, just call scissor again.

Thank you. That makes sense.

I've actually changed how I was doing the thing to using Memblocks and it is working very nicely.
