Use
The purpose of this call is to display a ‘virtual’ icon.
Notes
The main use for this call is within a redraw or update loop, so that an application can display any virtual icons required.
The call can be used outside of a redraw or update loop, however, in this instance R4 and R5 must be used to specify screen co-ordinates where the icon will be displayed, rather than the co-ordinates passed within the Icon Block itself.
If used outside the redraw/update loop, the graphic area will be reset to the current screen mode. This is not good if outputting to a sprite.
