   GET IMAGE var FROM [x], [y]
   GET (x1,y1) - (x2,y2), var[, G]

The purpose of the GET IMAGE command is to store the contents of the screen in a variable. The first syntax is where the programmer provides the coordinates of the rectangle to be stored. This syntax will store only the bitmap of the image. You need to give the G option if you want to store color component, too.

The second, instead, only requires the point from which to start storing the image, whose dimensions are implicitly obtained from the variable. The color component is acquired implictly. The GET IMAGE syntax is the only one that supports ATLAS and SEQUENCE version, so you can acquire a single frame from the screen.

  background = NEW IMAGE(16, 16)
  GET IMAGE background FROM 0, 0
