Point

RgbColour = Point(Xpos, Ypos)

Parameters:     Xpos = The X coordinate of where to read this pixel colour from     Ypos = The Y coordinate of where to read this pixel colour from

Returns:     RgbColour = The Colour of this pixel in RGB format

The Point() function will read the RGB colour of any selected pixel. FACTS:       * Point() returns the pixel color in RGB format. Where each R,G,B component has a 0- 255 range. Use the RGBR(), RGBG(), RGBB() functions to calc the R,G,B values       * Reading lots of Dots from the screen or an image manually can be very slow. The reason for this is that each time you read or write a single dot, the surface has to first be locked, then the pixel is read and then unlocked again. The locking is required to ensure that the surface is valid. So when your reading or writing lots of pixels, your constantly locking/unlocking the surface. Which will be extremely slow! To overcome this, See LockBuffer + UnLockbuffer + FastPoint for a little more speed.       * It's important to note also that colour RGB values can be affected by the current screen mode your program is running in. In particular if your program is running in 16bit mode. In which case, some finer colour accuracy will be lost.       * If you attempt read a pixel outside of the current drawing surfaces size, Point() will return a zero. Mini Tutorial:       Reading a Point and display it as integer value and then as a hex value.       ; Clear the Screen to a bright Red-ish colour.   Cls $f00020    ; Read any pixel from the screen   ThisColour = Point(100,100)    ; Display the colour value   Print Point(100,100)    ; Display the colour value in hex format   Print Hex$(Point(100,100))    ; Display the Screen and wait for the user to press a key   Sync   WaitKey    This example would output.      15728672   $00f00020
