Description
The command WR O Picture to offscreen area places the document contained in picture into a 4D Write area that is invisible to the user (an offscreen area) and returns a value that can be used to access the new area.
The value returned by WR O Picture to offscreen area can be used in any 4D Write command that requires a 4D Write area. This command is similar to combining WR New offscreen area and WR PICTURE TO AREA.
Note: You should always use WR DELETE OFFSCREEN AREA when you have completed your operation on the offscreen area.
