I have a project which wants to place several
different images into a GLOBALLY decalred
BITMAP *bitmap variable,
but each images has its own unigue height/width/etc.

How can I possibly use a common, globally declared
Bitmap to do this?  
I suppose creating an intermediate Bitmap locally in
a function, THEN somehow copying it to the globally
declared one...
the problem is: How the heck do you ADJUST the
height / width and other attributes to MATCH the
NEW image?

int get_image(n) { ... };
Should load/create an image and then allow us to
use a global pointer to reference it through-out the
rest of the application....

get_image(1);
...
get_image(4);
ERROR: OLD, ORIGINAL Bitmap values from get_image(1)
are STILL IN EFFECT !!  :(
if I destroy_bitmap(global_bitmap);
  how can I declare it again, AND STILL have the Global
  reference through out my program?


I want a SINGLE bitmap to be able to allow its attributes
(hieght/width, etc) to be changed, on the fly....

What can I do ?

Thanks!
