I'm writing a tutorial about drawing on screen. To show some different techniques I need to all about bitmaps and I still got some problems with that.

A bitmap as Integer

• Probably loaded into the memory somewhere, I only get the number.
• Can create a TMufasaBitmap out of it by GetMufasaBitmap.
• It has no drawing canvas property I can access.

A bitmap as TBitmap

• I got a canvas.
• I can't draw it on another canvas/bitmap.
• Can't create any othere type of bitmap out of it.

A bitmap as TMufasaBitmap

• Got no canvas.
• Can create a TBitmap out of it.
• Can get it back as integer if it was created as integer.
• Can be drawn on a canvas.

I need a bitmap(or 2 which can be exchanged)

• With a canvas.
• Can be drawn on another canvas.

edit: before I forget and someone spends hours on this. This will be probably be solved with a fix to simba.

As of this (https://www.moparisthebest.com/jenkins/job/Simba_Next/lastBuild/) Simba-next, the following works now:

program new;
var
    m: TMufasaBitmap;
    b: TBitmap;
begin
    b := TBitmap.Create;
    b.Width := 42;
    b.Height := 42;
    m := TMufasaBitmap.Create;
    m.LoadFromTBitmap(b); // And don't forget you also have ToTBitmap. :) 
    writeln(m.Width);
    b.Free;
    m.Free;
end.

You're my hero!
