- false = images load with default image handles at 0,0<br></td></tr></table><p class='header'>Command Description: <br><br><table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='2' cellpadding='2' align='center'><tr><td>When an image is loaded with <a href='LoadImage.htm'>LoadImage</a>, the image handle (the location within the image where the image is 'drawn from') is always defaulted to the top left corner (coordinates 0,0). This means if you draw an image that is 50x50 pixels at screen location 200,200, the image will begin to be drawn at 200,200 and extend to 250,250.<br>
- <br>
- The <a href='MidHandle.htm'>MidHandle</a> command moves the image's handle to the middle of the image. See this command for more information about the image's handle.<br>
- <br>
- This command eliminates the need for the <a href='MidHandle.htm'>MidHandle</a> command by making ALL subsequently loaded images default to having their image handles set to mid.<br>
- <br>
- Note about the term 'handle'. There are two types of 'handles' we discuss in these documents. One is the location within an image - as discussed in this command. The other is a 'file handle', a variable used to hold an image, sound, or font loaded with a command. See <a href='LoadImage.htm'>LoadImage</a> for more information about file handles.</td></tr></table><p class='header'>Example: <br><br><table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='2' cellpadding='2' align='center'><tr><td>; MidHandle/ImageXHandle()/ImageYHandle()/AutoMidHandle<br>
