The contents of some windows need to scroll smoothly from right to left..
I would prefer to open a bitmap 3 or 4 times wider than the window and just
increment a leftedge pointer somewhere.. redrawing only as I near the right edge
of the big bitmap.
I assume that SuperBitmap and GimmeZeroZero are the way to go, but I don't
know yet how to control the left edge starting position..
Or I could be trying to do this the wrong way entirely.
Clues and keywords gratefully requested.
Thank You,

The function you need to use to scroll a superbitmap window is ScrollLayer() from layers.library (use window->RPort->Layer for the layer pointer). I would post a source code example but I wasn't able to find the source code in question (it might be that it's on another machine or I may have deleted it by mistake).
You can find more information about superbitmap windows here.
Thank You!
I don't mind looking it up myself, I just needed a lead on where to start.
