i have a basic question that I can’t seem to find anywhere, I am dynamically creating a bitmap and want the registration point to be in the middle of the image rather than 0,0. I realize that I could place the bitmap inside a sprite, but that takes up memory and I would much rather just position the bitmap itself in the middle, any ideas
