I am expecting to see the lower half of the image, but there is only the background:



Please tell me what I am doing wrong.

This show the entire image, with proportional w, and not the lower half of the image

A Gui works, with the appropriate margins, as expected.



Therefore, I think the SplashImage is bugfull.

Why??



ZY is for the margins, it doesn't affect what part of an image is shown. You can't really do that with the inbuilt options. You could try using Winset...Region on a gui but you'd probably not like the result. Why not just edit the image?

Exactly - with a negative margin you can (you should be able to) hide a part of the image. With a "normal" Gui and a "normal" Picture control it's OK.

And very curiously, with small enough margins it's ok with SplashImage too.


Because this is a graph which domain i have to redimention on the fly according to some parameters.

Ok, I see what you mean, basically moving a control off a gui so you only see part of it (but the whole imagel is still there just not visible). I don't think this works with Splashimage as it's treated like a control in itself, even though it's a window.

I manage to get it to show a section of an image but Splashimage seems to trim off a certain amount of an outlying image, so your -200 is probably beyond that point. I found Gui, Margin... had a similar limitation but Gui, Add, Pic, y-300 didn't.

Presumably this is a limitation of the control so I would just use a Gui with something like


and use options and styles like +AlwaysOntop, -SysMenu and so on to mimic a splashwindow.

And so I'll do. Thank you!
