GrabSprite and other Sprite commands

The Description of DisplaySprite says:

Display the #Sprite at the specified position on the current sprite buffer.
There is no transparent color.
This command is clipped, so it's possible to display the sprite outside of the screen with negative values.

BUT GrabSprite can only grab things that are on the VISUAL SCREEN.
Please make all possible commands clipped/virtual. Thanks.

BTW: Why GrabImage works with an Image placed in memory, and with GrabSprite the Sprite MUST be on the visual screen?

Have a nice day...

Sometimes you have to go a lonely way to accomplish genius things.

If you want display transparent Sprite just use "DisplayTransparentSprite()" Instead of DisplaySprite()"... You can set the TransparentSpriteColor with "TransparentSpriteColor()"

Sure... thats a feature of clipped, hehe... If you want to code a horizontal shoot m up game clipped sprites are important i think...

I think GrabSprite() is the right name for grabbing any stuff from the screen... I dont really understand what you mean with virtual... Still missing commands like DecodeBla(#num,?label) for sprites, images and more... But please make it like "CatchSprite" or somehing like the decode command for sound... CatchSound()
