LoadImage()

Syntax

Result = LoadImage(#Image, FileName$)

Load the specified image. If #PB_Any is used as '#Image' parameter, the new image identifier will be returned as 'Result'. The image can be in BMP, icon or any other format supported by the ImagePlugin library. If the function fails, 0 is returned, else all is fine. The following commands can be used to enable automatically more image formats:

UseJPEGImageDecoder()
UsePNGImageDecoder()
UseTIFFImageDecoder()
UseTGAImageDecoder()

You can use the several other functions for acting with the loaded image:
StartDrawing() with ImageOutput() to draw on the loaded image
CopyImage() to create another image from the actual one
GrabImage() to create another image from a given area of the actual one
DrawImage() (with UseImage() before) to display the loaded image on actual output channel
ImageGadget() for displaying image on an application window
ButtonImageGadget() for creating an image button on an application window

Note: the image size is currently limited to 8192x8192 pixels (if the available memory allow it).
