duplicate() (image function)

Syntax

imageObject.duplicate()

Description

This function creates and returns a copy of the given imageObject. The new image is completely independent of the original, and isn't linked to any cast member.

If you plan to make a lot of changes to an image, it's better to make a copy that's independent of a cast member.

Example

This statement creates a new image object from the image of cast member Lunar Surface and places the new image object into the variable workingImage:

workingImage = member("Lunar Surface").image.duplicate()
