copy a chunk of an image

[jvds]

in the help is something similar to what i want to do but instead of screen capture i want to cut a rectangular chunk out of an image, _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImage() let me dwaw the image where i want on the x y coordinates but i want to copy a certain Width and Height from a custom X and Y coordinate.

i went to look at ScreenCapture.au3 seems that _WinAPI_BitBlt does the job but i don't understand it, is there a simple way staying with _GDIPlus_Graphics? or any tips on how to do it with _WinAPI_BitBlt ?

help file example

#include <GDIPlus.au3>
#include <ScreenCapture.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $hBitmap1, $hBitmap2, $hImage1, $hImage2, $hGraphic

    ; Initialize GDI+ library
    _GDIPlus_Startup()

    ; Capture full screen
    $hBitmap1 = _ScreenCapture_Capture("")
    $hImage1 = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromHBITMAP($hBitmap1)

    ; Capture screen region
    $hBitmap2 = _ScreenCapture_Capture("", 0, 0, 400, 300)
    $hImage2 = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromHBITMAP($hBitmap2)

    ; Draw one image in another
    $hGraphic = _GDIPlus_ImageGetGraphicsContext($hImage1)
    _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImage($hGraphic, $hImage2, 100, 100)

    ; Draw a frame around the inserted image
    _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawRect($hGraphic, 100, 100, 400, 300)

    ; Save resultant image
    _GDIPlus_ImageSaveToFile($hImage1, @MyDocumentsDir & "\GDIPlus_Image.jpg")

    ; Clean up resources
    _GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage1)
    _GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage2)
    _WinAPI_DeleteObject($hBitmap1)
    _WinAPI_DeleteObject($hBitmap2)

    ; Shut down GDI+ library
    _GDIPlus_Shutdown()

    ShellExecute(@MyDocumentsDir & "\GDIPlus_Image.jpg")

You can use _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRectRect or _GDIPlus_BitmapCloneArea for example.

thank you i went past _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRectRect several times and didn't notice
