Ouch, I just tried this in ldglite with the following command
ldglite foo.ldr -s3 -w3 -MS -q
and found not one, but 4 different bugs I have to fix.
1. I need to increase the calculated image extents by the half
the linewidth to get all of the wide lines at the edges of the
saved cropped image files.
2. I need to reset the image extents after a 0 CLEAR so the
second image is cropped correctly.
3. I need to fix a bug with the -q switch. When you use -q the
image after the 0 CLEAR shows only the nice antialiased lines.
(Something else to reset after a 0 CLEAR). It works ok if you
skip the -q though.
4. It put the bitmap files in the right directory, but it named
them foo1.bmp and foo2.bmp instead of foo---01.bmp and foo---02.bmp
like ldlite. Not sure if I should really call this a bug, but
it might break any scripts you've wrapped around ldlite.
I was happy however that the offscreen rendering worked as advertised.
And I only just found out about 0 CLEAR recently, so I'm not surprised
to find some bugs in that code.
