| Hi again everyone,

| I have found the solution to my challenge.
| 
| The trick is this:
| 
| 1. Create a copy of the original image (same dimension)
| 2. Based on the size of the pattern image (the GIF file), run a little
| loop on the X and Y coords that will used composite to place the image
| on the copy with the transparency preserved.
| 3. Use that copy image as the fillPattern for the original image.

| Hope that will help you guys who are trying to do the same thing.

For an alturnative method of generating a tiled canvas, that will also
tile an animation (sequence of images) using a trick of the new -distort
operator, see IM examples, Animation Modifictions,  Glitter Tiles...

Other non-animation methods are also provided in IM examples, Canvas
Generation, Tiles Canvases...

There are lots of ways, without needing to do the pixel transfer
yourself, and all methods should be about to be done from the various
API languages.
