How to read a pixel's color on a sprite ?

[pythagoras_156]

Greetings,

I've been trying to retrieve the color of a pixel on a sprite by using GetPixel_(hdc,x,y) but to no avail. I guess the problem is to get the correct dc for the sprite. This is what i've been doing (wrong, probably) :

Code: Select all

hDC = GetDC_(sprite_id) 
color = GetPixel_(hDC,50,30)

Does someone know the correct way to do this ?

Thanks in advance,

Pythagoras

Code: Select all

  If StartDrawing(SpriteOutput(#sprite_id))
    color = Point(x,y)
    StopDrawing()
  EndIf

That might do it..
(you might want to do an RGB conversion on the color variable)
