A Xojo picture object may contain an icon, a bitmap, a picture handle or something else what Xojo will support as a picture in the future.
The picture editing functions of this plugin can only work with bitmap pictures and this clone function creates such pictures for you.
This function takes a look on the picture and returns it unchanged if it is allready a bitmap, but if not, the picture is Cloned as a bitmap. If you prefer to get a copy of the picture as a bitmap picture, use clone instead.

The Cloned picture does not have a mask.
