Picture.cloneMBS as picture

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
method Graphics & Pictures MBS Picture Plugin ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes All
Clones the picture as a bitmap.

A Xojo picture object may contain an icon, a bitmap, a picture handle or something else what Xojo will support as a picture in the future.
The picture editing functions of this plugin can only work with bitmap pictures and this clone function creates such pictures for you.
If a picture is a bitmap can be easily tested with the graphics property like this:

if p.graphics=nil then // if no bitmap
p = p.clonembs // make one
end if

The Cloned picture does include the mask, if one exists.
See FAQ entry "How to duplicate a picture with mask or alpha channel?" on how to duplicate with mask.
