## SYNOPSIS

gcx:image([x, y,] filename)

## DESCRIPTION

Loads the image file from filename and paints it to the given coordinate pair. If the coordinate pair is not specified, assumes 0, 0.

## ERRORS

Raises an error if gcx is not a graphics context.

## EXAMPLE

> >
fb = gfx.open() fb:image("/media/mmc0a/320x240/bird.png")

## NOTES

This function will load the image from file each time it is called. If you need to paint the same image multiple times, better cache it into a variable using gcx:load and paint it using gcx:blit.

## SEE ALSO

gcx:load, gcx:blit
