** ThirtyTwoBit Screen Shot SUB for QB64 Screen and Image Handles**

## Syntax

> ThirtyTwoBit left_column%, top_row%, right_column%, bottom_row%, handle&, new_filename$

* Copies portions or all of a Screen or image using the handle value to a new bitmap. [SAVEIMAGE](SAVEIMAGE) does full screen only!
* Make sure the maximum coordinates used are one less than the **screen** image's size or an [ERROR Codes](ERROR-Codes) will occur!
* A handle value of 0 will copy the present portion of the main program screen while the screen's handle may hold a previous image.
* Can be used with 4, 8 or 24/32 bit colors. 4 BPP = 16 colors, 8 BPP = 256 colors and 24/32 BPP has 16 million colors.
