# ImageXHandle image

# Parameters

image = variable holding the image's file handle

# Description

It is occasionally useful to determine the location of an image's image handle. This command returns the X coordinate. Use ImageYHandle to get the Y coordinate. Please see MidHandle for more information on the image's image handle. Note about the term 'handle'. There are two types of 'handles' we discuss in these documents. One is the location within an image - as discussed in this command. The other is a 'file handle', a variable used to hold an image, sound, or font loaded with a command. See LoadImage for more information about file handles.
