How do we initialise our own MultipassBitmaps?

Currently no matter what I do my MultipassBitmap layers refuse to take any image information (the layers exist, there appear to be valid pointers, the layers have their parameter data name etc, they just can't be drawn to, initialisation of the layers makes no difference).

Is this user error, or a bug in the API?

I can't confirm this error. The following code correctly writes an 8x8 tiff file:

    
    
    AutoFree<MultipassBitmap> mpb(MultipassBitmap::Alloc(8,8,MODE_RGB));

Here's the code I'm currently using. i'm trying to clone the render multipass from within a videopost (this is called in vps->vp==VP_FRAME && !vps->open). It's not having any of it!

Try setting one line at a time instead of the whole 'pixelcount'. (The latter doesn't seem to work here. It stops at the right edge.)

unfortunately the clone bitmap still remains empty even with setting a line or even a pixel at a time.

oops, i spoke too soon. a minor ammendment is needed for this to work correctly. the get & setpixel counts need to have the correct byte increment (bitmode) and the width of course needs to be incremented by 1.
