I have a small bitmap, and it’s one that’s going to be scaled to be much larger then added to another bitmap. So I have the bitmap and I changed to width to make it larger, then when I use copyPixels to place this bitmap onto the main bitmap the image added is the original bitmap, not with the width changed. How can I make it reflect the changes?
