Name
CreateTexturedBGPic -- create a new background picture textured with a brush
Synopsis
[id] = CreateTexturedBGPic(id, brushid[, width, height, x, y])
Function
This function will create a new background picture for you and it will texture it with the brush specified by brushid. If you specify Nil in the id argument, this function will choose an identifier for this background picture automatically and return it to you. If width and height are omitted, the dimensions will be the same as the current display.

The optional x and y parameters are new in Hollywood 4.6. They allow you to specify an offset into the texture brush. Texturing will then start from this offset in the brush. The default for these arguments is 0/0 which means start at the top-left corner inside the texture brush.

Inputs

height

x

Results
