The number of bit planes in Image.ImageData! Image.PlanePick and 
Image.PlaneOnOff do the rest of the magic. On a similar vain, what if you want
to use an image that is wider than 32 bits? What are work arounds which other
have used? Is the simplest way to use two images? What is the limit on the
length on an image? What if I want to make an image for a gadget that is wider
than 32 bits? Say something like 60 pxls wide? There's no info in any of the
books that I have access to (RKM's, Peck and Mortimer). Anybody have some good
ideas or example programs? I'll redirect to .tech.
