Picture Event (Help plz)

[subzero]

So I have been wanting to work with pictures lately to see what I can do with them.
I tested some pictures and.... how do you set up the location of the picture?
I tried going by the maps coordinate but It always ends up in the corner. Please help me out here.
I tried searching in the search engine but I couldn't find anything.

pictures are displayed by pixel value, not by tiles. (each tile is 32 pixels, and the screen is 640x480)

The 'Origin' is a point on the picture that you use for reference. All pictures are placed in reference to
their 'upper left corner' or 'center'

The "Position", either defined by a constant x,y value, or using variables, is where the 'origin' point on the
picture will be placed.

So, if you want a picture centered on the screen, set the origin to "Center", and the X,Y to 320, 240

And remember, pictures are displayed on the screen, not the map. So, if you move your player around the map
the picture will stay stationary on the screen.

Be Well

I understand that but...what am I trying to say?
lol.
I don't know how to say this but Ill try to explain it.
How are the (X,Y) coordinates set up like?
Say I want it in the center and moved a little to the left.
How do I match it up?

The top left of the screen is 0,0.  the bottom right of the screen is 639,479

X goes across the screen from left to right
Y goes down the screen from top to bottom.

so, if you want the picture a little (10 pixels) left of center, set the origin to center, and the X,Y to 310, 240

changing the X value to something smaller will move the picture to the left
