  First of all thank you hgy29 for making Gideros awesome
  
  I may have found an issue with RenderTarget?
  The code below creates a gradient bg with some moving stars

  -- a gradient bg local bggradient = Pixel.new(0xffffff, 1, 800, 480) -- set a white color to start with bggradient:setColor(0x0, 1, 0x00007f, 1, -90) -- a gradient set horizontally bggradient:setAnchorPoint(0.5, 0.5) -- stars local spritestars = Sprite.new() -- a sprite to hold all star shapes for i = 1, 512 do -- PaulH local s = Shape.new() s:setLineStyle(2, 0xffffff) s:moveTo(0, 0) s:lineTo(1, 1) s:endPath() s:setPosition(math.random(0, 800), math.random(0, 480)) s:setScale(math.random(5, 15) / 10) s:setAlpha(math.random(10, 50) / 50) spritestars:addChild(s) end -- render stars to a render target --local rtstars = RenderTarget.new(800, 480, nil, true, nil, nil, nil, false) -- BUG?* local rtstars = RenderTarget.new(800, 480) -- FIX** rtstars:draw(spritestars) rtstars:save("|T|bgstars.png") -- FIX** -- create an image (Pixel) of the stars --local bgstars = Pixel.new(rtstars, 800, 480) -- BUG?* local texstars = Texture.new("|T|bgstars.png", nil, {wrap=TextureBase.REPEAT, extend=false}) -- FIX** local bgstars = Pixel.new(texstars, 800, 480) -- FIX** bgstars:setColorTransform(7/255, 221/255, 219/255, 1) bgstars:setAnchorPoint(0.5, 0.5) local texscale = 0.7 bgstars:setTextureScale(texscale, texscale) -- position bggradient:setPosition(800/2, 480/2) bgstars:setPosition(800/2, 480/2) -- order stage:addChild(bggradient) stage:addChild(bgstars)   -- game loop local velx = 0 function onEnterFrame(e) -- move the stars velx -= e.deltaTime * 128 bgstars:setTexturePosition(velx, 0) end stage:addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame)

  The suspected issue: RenderTarget.new(800, 480, nil, true, nil, nil, nil, false)
  - the true parameter is repeating (default = false) OK
  - the false parameter is extend (default = true) NOT OK?
  https://wiki.gideros.rocks/index.php/RenderTarget.new
  
  Expected behavior : RenderTarget.new(800, 480, nil, true, nil, nil, nil, false) to create a repeatable texture with extend to pot set to false
  
  Actual result: the texture repeats itself BUT there is a gap in the texture when it scrolls (bgstars:setTexturePosition(velx, 0)). So I suspect extend to be at fault?
  
  PS: you can uncomment all BUG* lines and comment all FIX** lines to see the issue.
  
  PS2: to fix the issue I save the rt to file then set {wrap=TextureBase.REPEAT, extend=false} and it works.
  
  PS3: you can copy/paste the code and it should work
  
  Hope that makes sense , thank you.
