I broke an image into pieces using GetImage. I then took these pieces and created sprites which I loaded into a 21 by 21 grid, hoping the result would look like the original image but would be pieces I could manipulate.
The grid got created but there is a black border between each sprite vertically and horizontally. How can I get rid of these so it looks like the original image?

Is your spacing off when positioning them? Did you cut the image up properly?

If neither of those, then you might try this:

SetImageMinFilter( iImageIndex, mode )
mode - The filter mode to use, 0=nearest, 1=linear

Load your image and use this command on the image before assigning it to a sprite. (might work after assigning it but i'm not sure). Setting the filter to nearest may provide a sharper image at the edges if that is what's happening.

SetImageMagFilter( iImageIndex, mode ) might also help

Thanks for the suggestions. They didnt work but I was able to fix the problem by making the area copied bigger than I needed and it merged the sprites fine with no spaces..

Personally, I wouldn't use GetImage for that.
If the sprites are all the same size then use SetSpriteAnimation() and SetSpriteFrame().
If they are different sizes, create a subimage text file and use LoadSubImage().
Your GPU (and therefore frame rate) will thank you for using either of my suggestions.
