Description
INT LOAD_MAP ( STRING ARCHIVE )
Load a MAP from the disk.
PARAMETERS:
STRING archive: Name of archive
DESCRIPTION:
This function returns a MAP graph from disk. The MAP is in a format belonging to Fenix that allows a map to contain graphs of 1, 8 or 16 bits per pixel in compressed format, with transparent pixels, and optionally with an animation sequence attached. The graphs of 8 bits have a colour palette stored inside the MAP archive.
LOAD_MAP returns a whole number that identifies the MAP graph. It is then possible to use this value with any function that allows a graph like parameter, indicating the code 0 of library, or assigning the number to the variable Graph.
NOTES:
It is only possible to visualize graphs of 16 bits if the current graph mode is set to 16 bits. But it is possible to visualize graphs of 8 bits in 16 bit modes.
There is an active colour palette all the time. Use only graphs of 8 bits that use the same colour palette. Fenix will automatically use the colour palette of the first graph returned from the disk and will ignore any other palettes belonging to any graphs loaded after the first one. Even in 16 bit modes a colour palette exists (but in this mode the palette only affects the graphs of 16 bits).
