BB4W's largest library now has what is probably the longest function/routine name:
GFXLIB_PlotRotateScaleAlphaBlendSetAlphaBitA%
For the curious, it draws a scaled and rotated bitmap, alpha-blending it with the background, and sets a specified bit in the alpha byte of overwritten background pixels (useful for collision detection purposes). The final 'A' just signifies that this is a variant of a practically identical routine; in this case, it only sets specified background alpha bits if the source pixel is fully opaque.

As this is posted in the GFXLIB v2.03 thread I'm somewhat confused as to the sense in which the library 'has' the new function. Presumably it will only become available (to anybody other than yourself) in a new release, and as far as I can see no new release has been announced, despite you saying way back in March 2012: "Looks like a version 2.04 is on the cards".

Sorry for causing confusion; I suppose I didn't want to create a new thread yet just to share the fact that GFXLIB now has some ridiculously long routine names.
Version 2.04 did, as it turned out, remain my private version, although it was only a very minor update.
2.05 will be out in a month or two, all being well.
David.
