I've discovered that I have no idea what's going on with the imagedata function.

I thought that the imagedata was a pixel by pixel map of the image. I tried the following handler to look at each pixel of my image:

on mouseUp
  put the name of image id 1014 into tName
  put the imagedata of tName into tData
  set the savedImageData of tName to tData
  --put the imagedata of img "basic.png" into tData
  put 0 into tCounter
  repeat for each char tChar in tData
    put charToNum(tChar) into tNum
    if tCounter mod 4  is 0 then put cr after results
    put tNum&comma after results
    add 1 to tCounter
  end repeat
  put results into field 1
end mouseUp

And I got the following in field 1:

0,156,0,2,
0,156,0,2,
0,156,0,2,
0,156,0,2,
0,156,0,2,
0,156,0,2,
0,156,0,2,
0,156,0,2,
0,156,0,2,
0,156,0,2,
0,156,0,2,
0,156,0,2,
0,156,0,2,
etc.

This was the imagedata of a short red line segment painted with the red pencil.

I thought each line above represented successive pixels across the image--left to right and top to bottom.

Not so.

This is really screwy. If I set the imagedata of my image to the imagedata of itself, it is transformed from a short red line to a solid red square. Actually that is what I would have thought the column above represented.

You image people out there live in a different world. I'm sure I'll get this in time, but right now I see that I was living in a fools paradise when working with graphics objects.
