Name

copy()

Examples
example pic
PImage img = loadImage("tower.jpg");
img.copy(50, 0, 50, 100, 0, 0, 50, 100); 
image(img, 0, 0);
Description Copies a region of pixels from one image into another. If the source and destination regions aren't the same size, it will automatically resize source pixels to fit the specified target region. No alpha information is used in the process, however if the source image has an alpha channel set, it will be copied as well.

The imageMode() function changes the way the parameters work. For example, a call to imageMode(CORNERS) will change the width and height parameters to define the x and y values of the opposite corner of the image.
Syntax
img.copy(sx, sy, swidth, sheight, dx, dy, dwidth, dheight);
img.copy(srcImg, sx, sy, swidth,  sheight, dx, dy, dwidth, dheight);
Parameters
img PImage: any variable of type PImage
sx int: X coordinate of the source's upper left corner
sy int: Y coordinate of the source's upper left corner
swidth int: source image width
sheight int: source image height
dx int: X coordinate of the destination's upper left corner
